Matthew 18:20 “For where two or more are gathered in My name, I am there in the midst of them”. I’ll take that as a YES as long as they go by the teachings in the Bible.

Does that make it a church? Can everyone have their own religious theology or interpretation?

Even if some veer off course from what is taught in the scriptures, none of them are as far out of the loop as The Catholic religion...

At least these denominations are sticking with what they believe the bible to say...The Catholic religion just invents junk that has no biblical basis and calls it doctrine or dogma...And then calls itself the one, true religion...

Do they? Some are accepting of divorce and remarriage, abortion,birth control, homosexuality and same sex marriage.

The Catholic Church is based on the teachings of Jesus, and the protestant religions were formed by man; Luther, Calvin, etc,

From a protestant site:
all Protestant denominations agree on is that the Roman Catholic Church is not the one true church of God. Protestant denominations are unanimous in rejecting the papacy, the supremacy of Rome, prayer to saints/Mary, worship of saints/Mary, transubstantiation, purgatory, and most other Roman Catholic dogmas. Sola Scriptura has led all Protestant denominations to the same conclusion – the Bible does not teach many of the things Roman Catholics practice/believe. Further, outside of disagreeing with Roman Catholicism, the Protestant denominations agree on far more issues than they disagree on. Most of the Protestant denominations were formed because of a non-essential doctrine, a side issue, on which Christians can agree to disagree. Really???

The Catholic teachings are all based on the Bible and the teachings of Jesus, except where protestants and others
misrepresent these teachings.
