I don’t presume anything. The thread starter, the person “lecturing Catholics about the perils of the brown scapular”, is a self-identified Presbyterian

Catholics show an amazing ignorance of non Catholic churches.. I suspect Rome likes it that way ..

The word "presbyterian" does not address doctrine.. it is a FORM OF CHURCH GOVERNMENT ..

I do not think I have ever said what kind of presbyterian church I attend on any debate threads ...and I do not think that matters..

BUT like most of the Presbyterians I know, I see the PCUSA as a corrupt, heretical denomination ..

And yet, you people seldom seem to realize that there are Catholics who not Roman Catholics.

Presbyterian polity refers to a meothd of governance. Presbyterianism can and does refer to doctrines that are usually subscribed to by Presbyterian Churches.

Semantic drug-smuggling will get you nowhere.

That's true, with a lower-case "p". On your profile page, all uses of the word are capitalized.
