“I sense on these Catholic thread a subtle condescending attitude toward non-Catholic Christians sort of like we are lost puppies gone astray.”

That’s because they do. According to them unless you’re a Catholic you’re not a Christian. That’s not what the Bible says.

I think very few would be that bold and arrogant to say so plainly; I think most Catholics put their faith in the Church, her teaching and it's priestly hierarchy to be knowledgeable enough to argue from the the Scriptural standpoint believers must belong to the "Catholic" church to be saved.

BTW, I am a Protestant who greatly admires the Catholic Church for it's stand on sanctity of life, sin of homosexuality and many other cultural issues. They are a bulwark against secularism run a muck.

I wish I could say the same thing about our mainline Protestant denominations.

Which came first the Bible or the Church?

It was St. Jerome who translated the Bible from Aramaic, Hebrew and Greek into Latin and then was passed on through the ages through the Catholic Church.

You might say, “Thanks for your “KJV” — even though Luther corrupted the text by adding words and taking out words as well as books. Hence many do not know the entire truth.

I’m not trying to criticize — just pointing out the truths of how the Bible got where it is today.

There are NO Catholics that don't think OTHER BAPTIZED CHRISTIANS aren't CHRISTIAN!! Who ever told you such nonsense is a liar. Anyone baptized into the CHRISTIAN CHURCH is a CHRISTIAN!

Geesh....I have heard with my own ears, Baptists telling me that I am NOT a Christian because I'm a Catholic....they said it's a CULT! Double geesh. STUPID PEOPLE.

That's not true. Catholics hold that all Christians are Brothers and Sisters in Christ. However, the Catholic Church holds that only the Church has the protection of the Holy Spirit to teach, protect, and preserve the Deposit of Faith in Scripture and Tradition. It rejects Sola Scriptura, which is an assumption of almost all Protestantism.
