Actually, here's a link for an evangelical who states that You have the mistaken notion that because you are a Catholic, you are a Christian as well...You don't have to go too far in the scripture to find out that that is not so...

so, that's what we hear on FR -- it's died down now but it was raging in 2009-2010

They’re not quite addressing the same issue.

I’m simply denying the existence any widespread evangelical/Protestant dogma that says that it’s impossible for a Roman Catholic to be a Christian. The person you pointed out claimed that being a Roman Catholic does not guarantee being a Christian. That’s a different assertion.

The evangelical creed is almost always that being a Christian depends on whether you put your faith in Jesus Christ for your salvation, with fiddly details about destiny, choice, timing, and consistency over time that I don’t intend to get into which involve what is called the Arminian/Calvinist debate. I try to avoid that debate. (Incidentally, almost all agree that if no works based in faith are produced, no salvation occurred.)

Thanks for the backup, Cronos.
