P.S.
Catholics can and do build upon the foundation of Christ as I described above, but in my experience it was never taught as such Sunday mornings, and those who do don't walk around with a giant Catholic chip on their shoulder, they simply preach Christ.

Giant Catholic chip on their shoulder?

I don't know what that means.

You keep shooting arrows at Catholics, but then deny you really do. You're somewhat confusing. Reminds me of the type of tactics middle eastern countries play on much larger scale though.
Why do Christians as yourself continually attack the Catholic Church, when Catholics have respect for other faiths and don't succumb to this.

You say in your experience building on Christ is not taught as such in Sunday mornings.

Again, I question if you were truly a Catholic. We have the Mass, the greatest prayer on earth to God, the Eucharist, the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, whom Christ said and instituted this Holy Sacrament at the Last Supper, to Eat His Body and Drink His Blood in order to have everlasting life, life within you. How could you give up that up? God humbling himself to share Himself, His power within us to strengthened us. Other than the Greek Orthodox no other Church has this. Did you skip that part in the Bible? Christ said to think spiritual, not physical. Even Daniel speaks of the Daily Sacrifice in the last days, what does that mean to you? I could say every time I take Holy Communion I am Born Again! This is not building on Christ???? Or the Sacrament of Confession. It is not man that heals us, But Christ himself. The Great Healer who cleanses us. You say you know scripture why did you miss the part when Christ's first words to his Apostles and Command was to go out and forgive men's sins. We are on the ship and you are in the water. Grab a line so we can pull you in before you sink.

Referring to Christ's words to his Apostles after his resurrection.
After His resurrection!
John 21 Again Jesus said, "Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you." 22And with that he breathed on them and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit. 23If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven."
