Are you referring to this?
This is not a scorecard to evaluate how good a Catholic one is but how Catholic a good (Christian) one is. You have been instructed that my list is meant to help build unity among our Christian brothers and sisters upon our shared core beliefs but you continue to read my mind which is the only way you could come up with your absurd and incorrect assumption that you continue to spread here on FR.
The fact that you didn't courtesy ping me says much more about you than it does me.

From your list:
How Catholic am I?
.....not how good of a Christian I am.....but how Catholic I am.
And then you give the scorecard to tally up the points.
And your list is a list of beliefs of Roman Catholicism with some elements of Christianity mixed in. Kind of hard to talk about "shared beliefs" when your list is derived primarily from Roman Catholicism.
Oh, and you've been told your list of the 10 Commandments is a false one not found in the Old Testament....yet you continue to post it.
What does that say about you??
Christianity and Roman Catholicism.....there is a difference.
Traditions of men mean nothing in God’s economy and do not impress Him.
