I’m relieved to hear that. I fear that some, in protesting Catholicism, unwittingly reject the truth along with the false doctrine. (Some even go so far as to oppose what the Scripture says about baptism, merely because Catholicism considers it a “sacrament”.)
A man whose religion is based upon opposition to another’s religion is a man who’s in trouble.

Its not just the Romans in this case. I heard the narrow path/wide path sermon all the time when I was Methodist. They tell you that salvation comes from faith and not works one week, then tell you that what you do or don’t do will send you to hell the next week. When you ask, they start spinning in circles because their official theology is salvation by faith alone, but their politics are of social justice, and that requires works so they preach works salvation to the members and sola fides to the newcomers.
But since they believe that you can “lose salvation”, then it boils down to a twisted doctrine of “faith through your free will saves you, but a lack of works (outside of the church, of course) condemns you.”
I don't know of anyone whose religion is based o n opposing other people's religion.
I have seen that accusation lobbed at many on FR, but it's simply an accusation made by Catholics against non-Catholics in an attempt to discredit the non-Catholics.
Those who reject the false doctrine of Catholicism aren't in any danger of rejecting Biblical truth since they have the Bible to refer back to.
.....”A man whose religion is based upon opposition to another’s religion is a man who’s in trouble.”....
Some are simply saints who are “equipped to oppose” those who are working against God’s will and his Truth......be very careful you are not getting in their way rather pray and leave them with God to direct as He does.
