I personally accept Catholics as Christians and hope for the same in return. - JMS

You are indeed a Christian (assuming that you've been baptized), as demonstrated in the "Middle Ages" portion of the article. But that does not mean that you are in no need of doctrinal or moral correction.

And this is why I am not a Catholic and you are. I do not rely on doctrine but on faith and the guidance from the Bible rather than the guidance of canon law and tradition. I respect your right to your beliefs and I’m glad you respect mine. I also have had a deep exposure to Orthodoxy and respect their beliefs while not subscribing to them. I am comfortable attending a Mass in either of those churches but hold to my own beliefs.

What??? Without eating the Eucharist??? Without attending Mass once a week??? Without saying the Rosary??? And the rest of that long list???

So if you get baptized before your eyes are even opened, before you even know who Mary is, you are a Christian??? You should throw that catechism away and go with just a bible...The bible is a lot easier...
