You're kidding me right? Yes (the "Roman" part is a Rite of His One True Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church)

You must not be reading what denies that attempted diversion as valid. See post 109 .

2) I (infool7) feel that all who are not part of the Roman Catholic Church are not part of The One True Church. Yes or No Yes,

But,

3) I (infool7) do not feel that relegating all who are not part of the Catholic Church as being one part of The One True Church is not demeaning them. Yes or No 3) I (infool7) do not feel that relegating all who are not part of the Catholic Church as being one part of The One True Church is not demeaning them. Yes or No. No, It would be wrong to mislead souls by being less than completely truthful. Another response of sophistry/being less than completely truthful, or of sound reasoning. Irregardless of whether one feels the RCC or the Mormon church is the OTC, by placing souls outside of it is demeaning, as is relegating most Catholics to being lost, outside the kingdom of God, based upon what they say.

Which is sadly the case, and it would be wrong to mislead souls by being less than completely truthful.

But if do do not find relegating most Catholics to being lost to be a position demeaning to them, then you need to dialog with another profession.

4) I (infool7) do not believe that The One True Church can only be that which only and always only 100% consists of true believers. But that it must refer to a visible church under its visible pope. Yes or No Essentially, yes but it's not up to me to judge who the members of His One True Church are, that's up to Him and I don't know what you mean by "under" it's visible Pope

The question was not who you believe the members of His One True Church are, while "under" it's visible Pope" means you have a visible Pope, contrary to what some FR RCs profess.

Since you dodged my last question, I'll skip your last two.

Two for one? I did not doge any question, but did not notice it, while the answer has already been given to:

4) I(daniel1212) believe that ___ Catholics are inside His One True Church All, Some, No 7

The answer is some/most, which also applies to varying degrees to all visible churches, in contrast to the body of Christ, which is the only one true church of 100% believers.

So, now answer my last two questions.

Seriously, if you would just take an RCIA course you could clear up all of your misunderstandings with someone far more qualified then I.

You have shown exactly zero warrant for insinuating I an a victim of some misunderstandings: You did not ask me what your church believed, but what I believed, while my questions to you were as regards what you believe, in order to show the sophistry of your answers and the problems of your position.

Here's another one for you: Exactly how many "One True Churches" do you think there can be? hint: the answer is one

It should not be hard to see that I believe that, "The One True Church can only be that which only and always only 100% consists of true believers." Which as said in another post here, and which spiritual body of Christ is what the Spirit baptizes ever believer into, (1Co. 12:13) while organic fellowships in which they express their faith inevitably become admixtures of wheat and tares, with Catholicism and liberal Protestantism being mostly the latter.

The one true God cannot be an admixture of light and darkness, and the one true church cannot be an admixture of true and false believers, or of true and false gospels, by faith in which they enter the body of Christ. And again, distinctive Catholic teachings are not manifest in the only wholly inspired substantive authoritative record of what the NT church believed (including how they understood the OT and gospels), which is Scripture, especially Acts thru Revelation.
