I think you misread me. I never said the pope has said that Roman Catholics are not Christians, though he has categorically stated that Protestant denominations are not true churches.

Plus you could read something by Scott Hahn called Rome Sweet Home or The Lamb’s Supper.

To Isaiah
Just one question: When has the pope said that Catholics are not Christians?

@Anonymous -

You know something? Even the current pope doesn’t think that, so why are so many Protestants rushing through the door to recognize the Roman Church as part of the true Bride of Christ?

Apart from external appearances that the Roman Church also recognizes the life, death and resurrection of Christ Jesus, there is no other common ground — idolatry of Mary is NOT Biblical, veneration of and praying to saints is NOT Biblical, the sacraments of confession to a priest and acknowledging the pope as the Vicar of Christ are NOT Biblical, just to mention a few.

Moreover, the Roman Church goes against the teachings of Jesus (who is God the Son) by denying the sufficiency of Scripture, and that we are saved (justified) by grace alone.

My friend, I’d advise that you consider those points before making such statements.

Catholics are Christians. It sounds like the distinction you are making is between Catholics and Protestants, which are the denominations of Christianity such as Lutherans, Presbyterians, Anglicans, Methodists, and many many more. Keep that in mind; you are both still Christian.
