“The Body of Christ is made up of ALL those born from above by the Holy SPirit, and the members can be found in many denominations, even Catholic churches....”

I believe that, too. And I’ve wondered lately if those who are born from above while remaining in the Catholic Church throughout their lives here are something like the nine of Jesus’ twelve disciples, who were close to Him and knew Him, but not nearly as close as Peter, James and John, or perhaps they were even more distant still, like the other unnamed disciples Jesus had. Many in those groups also fell away because they just didn’t really know the Lord, either. In any case, I believe that there are far more people who are very close to the Lord and experience knowing Him in evangelical Protestant churches than there are in the Roman Catholic church. Through the Bible the Lord reveals Himself to us and teaches us about Himself, and through meditating on His Living Word that life in His Word works in us. If we are drawn to Him, too, we’ll want to know Him better through His Word.

Seems like a fair assessment of the situation.
