And for the record (and before you ask again) before this you widely asserted that as i reject paedobaptism then it seem that i hold all the Protestants are in error, and then that most Christians belong to denominations that practise infant baptism, and were once again shown to be in error.

IIRC, I wrote "Most Christians belong to denominations that practise infant baptism" from a link. You countered that a majority of what you term American Protestants do not now practice infant baptism. Both points can be true, but yours only if you relegate Baptists as Protestants. Surely you did not hold that view whilst a member of an Independent Fundamental Baptist church. Historical Protestants believed in infant baptism and supported the execution of AnaBaptists believed in believer's baptism.

I suppose the tie that binds the alliance is to be antiCatholic.

Not only, but i substantiated that this was also true worldwide. But apart from stating what was said, we are not to carry debate from thread to thread.

You should have pressed that broader Baptist distinction and the historical vs current WP judgment in that thread. As for the term "Protestant," IFBs made up a small minority, while surely you are not reproving theRC use of the term Protestant, which is wide enough for Scientology.
