Yes or no, Caww?
You said that all protestants are in union with one another.
Bishop Vicky Gene Robinson is a protestant
You are a protestant.
Therefore, I can only conclude that you are in unity with him.
IF you are not in unity with him - how does one determine which protestants are in unity with one another since you are saying that not all of you are in union with one another despite both of you calling the other, ‘protestant’.
again...wrong questions...and BTW twisting what I stated.
No, he didn't.
JCB:You said that all protestants are in union with one another.
Just wow....
What a stellar example of the deception of the enemy.
caww did not say that at all. You almost completely reworded what she said.
It seems you are misrepresenting what she said by leaving out one word.
She said
The Unity most Protestants have is in the person of Jesus Christ..
Bishop Vicky Gene Robinson is a protestant. You are a protestant. Therefore, I can only conclude that you are in unity with him.
As your premise is in error, so is your conclusion. She (caww) is not in union with him, and can separate from such, yet you are stuck with a majority of liberal RCs as Rome counts and treats them as members in life and in death.

Since historically there has been a sect of Protestants (broadly defined) which separate from clearly aberrant Balaams and are marked by an overall shared consent to basic core truths, and who thus manifest a common contention against those who deny them ("cults") as well as against Catholic additions, then there must be a basis for this.
And Catholicism has here divisions over interpretations of Rome, and of Tradition, Scripture and history.
And even in the latter day declension of the church today this class testifies to greater unity in basic moral values and many truths than your brethren.
since you are saying that not all of you are in union with one another despite both of you calling the other, ‘protestant’.
"Protestant" is a broad and inaccurate term as it typically includes even those who deny the core essentials the Reformers and Rome both held to (one RC writer estimates that at 80%). If we identify a group based on a common denominator such as dissent from Catholicism, then cults could likewise be identified as Catholic as they both typically operate under sola ecclesia.
But as there must be divisions because of truth, (Lk. 12:15; 1Cor. 11:19), thus there is a conservative class of Prots know as fundamentalists, or evangelicals.
However, your basic premise is that Rome is infallible, and thus is be the supreme authority on what is Truth, and that this infallible authority is necessary to preserve truth, and thus those she rejects have no real authority. Correct?
