hmm... well, as long as you believe in Jesus Christ as Lord, God & Savior, true God from true God, begotten not made, of one being with the Father, who with the Father and Son is our One God, that’s good enough for this Catholic to hold you as a Christian brother

Jesus IS Lord and Savior and He did step down to earth to cement our personal relationship with God as the Old Testament prophets said would happen. His loving sacrifice makes worthy sainst of those who accept Him into their hearts and He forgives our wickedness and recognizes our sins no more. God IS good and faithful.

I am your brother in Christ and hold no animosity for any Christian religion because I also recognize that the Catholic Church has done more to bring sinners to Christ than any other religion. I would posit that if it were not for the Catholic Church, non-denomiational churches, such as I associate with, would not be the same purveyors of His Word as is laid out in the Bible. I am a believer that when Jesus told us to "resist not evil", He was telling us not to worry ourselves with the ways of the world, and that His purpose for telling us was the same as when God would tell those He had plans for that He would be their rearguard - our job is to carry His Word and He will handle what the Evil One sows because He is the only One with the power to do so.

Have a Blessed day!
