I doubt if ANY devout Catholics would agree. Ask your FR PRACTICING CATHOLIC friends.

I think I can mostly agree with you on this, with the exception of "inerrency/infallibility of scripture" issues. The Catholic Church doesn't promote that as vigorously as Protestant (and some Evangelical) churches do, to their shame.

Ask your FR PRACTICING CATHOLIC friends.

The problem with asking them is that they will tell me that A) only Real Genuinetm Catholics should be counted as Catholic, while simultaneously telling me that B) there are 68+ million Catholics living in the United States right now and that C) there are 33,000 "Protestant denominations" who all hold "mutually exclusive doctrines". Oh, and all Protestants read "Jack Chick" comics.

In short, my Catholic friends on FR have a tendency to exaggerate wildly (if not just make up numbers out of whole cloth) whenever it benefits their case. They are credulous to a fault when it comes to Protestantism, and (most of) their credibility with me is shot to zero. I rarely take them seriously about anything anymore. They are a myopic subset that thinks they have a better handle on Catholicism than their own bishops do.
