Modern Catholic teaching regards Protestants as errant on specific points of doctrine but as Christians nonetheless and due good will from Catholics as fellow believers in Christ. As a Catholic, I have known many Protestants of admirable faith and virtue and have attended Protestant services that fully manifested the spirit of Christianity. On the whole, I think it unlikely that Christ would endorse his followers being hostile and condemnatory toward each other based on reasonably disputable points of doctrine.

Sorry this is just not true.. Every Pope MUST AFFIRM the findings of the Council of Trent ...which curse/damn all protestants to hell

Canon 12 reads as follows: "If anyone says that justifying faith is nothing else than confidence in divine mercy, which remits sins for Christ's sake, or that it is this confidence alone that justifies us, let him be anathema."

It's been explained many times on this forum why this statement is incorrect.

Today’s Catholics will say most anything to try to lure us into the paganism of Catholicism.

You caught us. The Pope and his Catholic followers are just pretending, even in the reconciliation with the Lutherans and the many other ecumennical gestures, meetings, and pronouncements of recent decades. We are secretly training and building up our caches of swords, shields, crossbows, and chain mail, our casks of holy water and holy oil, and refurbishing our cherished torture instruments. Soon, soon, when the Vatican’s armies begin to march and put Protestants to the sword and rack in obedience to the Council of Trent, you will be able to claim vindication.
