Scroll up in the thread to the point where she tells of her pastor bragging of missions to Ireland to bring the Good News to (read: to proselytize) Catholics.

Listen, I've heard people who claim to be Christian say things like "There are lots of different faiths where I work, Buddhists, Muslims, Catholics, Christians, etc." I've never understood how someone could classify Catholics as non-Christians.

Having said that, I don't see much of a difference between that and being told by Catholics that Protestants aren't true Christians, aren't in the real church, are led astray, etc.

It is for this reason that I rarely wonder onto religious threads on FR. Arguing with other Christians about who really is a true Christian just doesn't seem right.

The difference is simple: one is proselytization, the other is not.

You can easily find posts from her stating that some Catholics are not Christians at all.
