If you check Merriam-Webster you’ll see it is described as “usually disparaging”.

I did and finally we found something we can agree on, that being the definition of "papist". The term you used however "papSit" is somewhat of a google mystery. You started this off with a disparaging remark about Protestants. So far I've learned that you consider us all to be unfettered, rebellious, heretics who twist the scriptures. I have yet to find any scripture supporting your practice of praying to saints. So who's twisting scriptures?

I have had a number of interesting and enjoyable conversations with Catholics on this forum. Never once had it come into my mind to considered any of those folks to be 'papist'. You, however operate directly from a position of arrogance and superiority and have earned the term.

That’s not true. I started off with an accurate comment about ProtestantISM. Learn to read.

“So far I’ve learned that you consider us all to be unfettered, rebellious, heretics who twist the scriptures.”

You need to learn to read. I only mentioned Protestants about three times or so. And those references were generally to the leaders, not the common deluded faithful of today.

“I have yet to find any scripture supporting your practice of praying to saints. So who’s twisting scriptures?”

Protestant leaders. Take sola scriptura itself which you are using right now. It exists no where in scripture. The Communion of Saints need not be in scripture to be true. Where is the canon of scripture listed in scripture? Oh, that’s right. It’s not there. Where in Matthew does it say that Matthew wrote that gospel? It doesn’t.

“I have had a number of interesting and enjoyable conversations with Catholics on this forum. Never once had it come into my mind to considered any of those folks to be ‘papist’. You, however operate directly from a position of arrogance and superiority and have earned the term.”

No, you simply used a pejorative when you were challenged and came up short. Get used to coming up short.
