Alex, that's why I said "most, but by no means all, Protestants". You've read what the Orthodox here have to say and reject it. For that matter, you reject much of what the Fathers wrote. But it is quite apparent, at least to me and for some time now, that your objection is to our and the Fathers' theology in and of itself and not because you think Orthodoxy is some spin off franchise of the Latin Church.
There are a number of Protestants here who fall into that category. In any event, my comment was not directed at Protestants but rather at the persistent Latin practice of using the term "Catholic Church" when either, a) they mean Roman Catholic Church and its dependencies or b) mean the Pre Schism Church and simply assume everyone knows what they mean when in fact, as this very thread demonstrates, that is not at all true.
Boy, if that doesn't smack of "reading the mind of another poster", I don't know what else it could be. I doubt even a heavy re-wording could fix that.
