You know, I was going to say that is one of the dumbest things I ever heard.
But then, I know a lot of Catholics who regard theirs as the true Christian faith and think that Protestants are the fakes - particularly the fundamentalist, evangelical denominations that believe in Biblical literalism.
These Catholics have no problems with, say, Episcopalians (Catholic-Lite), Methodists, or Lutherans - the High Church Protestants, generally speaking. But they roll their eyes at the Bible-thumping TV preachers and faith healers.
So I guess that makes it even all around, eh?
BTW, I like the way you slipped in "technically". Can there really be such a thing? Is there some authoritative source that defines who "technically" is or is not a "true" "Christian"?
Because I am pretty sure that Catholics think that a lot Protestants "technically" are not true Christians.
Why would the Evangelical definition be more legitimate? Because "factually", there are more Catholics around the globe than there are Protestants - like 1.2 billion Catholics, 900 million Protestants. Muslims clock in at around 1.1 billion, just behind the Catholics.
So wouldn't the Catholic definition of a true Christian hold sway?
Just asking...
