If you were asked if you were a Christian, how would you respond?

Would you say "Yes" or would you say "I'm a Catholic"?

I would say yes, and then say that specifically I was a Catholic.

I would expect others to do the same -- say yes and then say specifically Methodist, Presbyterian, Baptist, or whatever they were.

I would say yes, and then say that specifically I was a Catholic.

Why? Did the Salvation Army ask if he was any specific denomination? No. The Salvation Army did not ask him whether he was a Catholic or a Baptist or a Methodist. They asked him whether he was a Christian. He chose not to directly answer the question, but instead stated that he was a Catholic. There are a lot of people who claim to be Catholics who would never claim to be a "Christian" lest they be identified with all those fundamentalist born-again fanatics.

Mr. Clark gave the wrong answer. He might as well have said no.

You might expect that however many Roman Catholics do not.
When a relative of mine (RC) was asked if I was a Roman Catholic he replied " No, she's a a Christian". Too sad.

I would expect others to do the same -- say yes and then say specifically Methodist, Presbyterian, Baptist, or whatever they were.

But I would never answer that way. I've been a member of all 3 of those churches and a few others as we attend church depending on who preaches Christ and not what they're sign out front says.
