To: Repent and Believe
Then why do you argue with the Catholic Church by so saying, for the Catholic Church teaches that Protestants are not in Christ. You can look it up from the mouth of Popes prior to 1959, as they argued against the Protestants being our brothers and sistes.

Well, it's a good thing we don't have to rely upon what the pope says.

I'm counting on the truth of what Jesus said as recorded by John.

24“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life. John 5:24 NASB

Do you believe this?

Catholics believe this:

Amen, amen I say unto you, that he who heareth my word, and believeth him that sent me, hath life everlasting; and cometh not into judgment, but is passed from death to life.

Protestants, on the other hand, do not heareth Jesus’ word when He says certain things that don’t agree with them, such as when He spoke of the need to eat His flesh and drink His blood to have everlasting life.

By the way, the scriptures were authenticated by the Pope. Therefore, everything that you have ever read in an authentic Bible is what what was handed to you by the Pope and is what the pope says, for he hands it to us and says that we must believe it.

I think our definition of what "believe" means, is different from other people's definition of what "believe" means. Therein lies the problem. Head knowledge vs heart knowledge. 🙏
