Without question I do. And there are certain aspects of Catholic theology and practice that I find superior to those of my own faith. Catholocism, despite all of its dogma and official trappings, remains more contemplative on the whole, I believe, than most Protestant denominations. I find the spiritual experience of mass to be far more reverent and do attend on occasions.

That said, I can’t accept the Catholic Church and all of its beliefs as a whole, so I’d have a hard time converting. There are a few lagging issues that keep me where I am as a Presbyterian.

But yes, Catholics are absolutely 100% Christian. And any Christian who would limit the words of John 3:16 more than they are in a literal translation is someone who I have far greater theological differences with than I’ve ever had with the Catholic Church.

Feel free to ask any Catholic here on your "lagging issues", and check the recent series of conversion threads I ran. This is the last: Catholic Mariology, Authority, and Various Other Qualms of Protestants Considering Conversion.
