I think that we have a comprehension problem here.
The set of Christian contains the subset Catholic.
A Catholic says that anyone in the Christian set that is not in the Catholic subset is a heretic.
A heretic is a Christian, just one with unsound doctrines, in the view of the Catholic church.
Then why do you constantly keep calling Mormons heretic, which the Catholic church says they are not?
Apparently you did not read what I wrote, so I am repeating it:
YOU SAID: The simple truth of it is that if you call yourself Christian and are not Catholic, then you are a heretic.
I REPLIED: Huh? I’ll have to let my cousin, the Nun that, she considers herself a Christian. In fact she just had a celebration fifty years in her order, nice party. As a side note she refers to herself first as a Christian who also happens to be Catholic. I am sure she will love to hear your take on the whole thing. I have on my Dad’s side uncles, aunts, and cousins galore and they ALL say they are Christian first then Catholic, I’ll let them know as well. Pretty sure they will be surprised, then laugh.
