Not to interfere in your conversation....but why??/it abbreviates protestant...Catholics are often referred to as RC's and we know what it means.......just asking!
I've noted a small number of catholics on this board use the term "prot" as a means to diminish, put down, insult, etc, posters who are not catholic. There's also an attitude of condescension displayed by a few catholics on this board (you're not one of those btw) who claim their denomination is superior to all others. I don't see denominations as being superior. Christianity is superior to all other religions to be sure.
I know for many who've grown up catholic, methodist, baptist, lutheran, etc, all think their respective denomination is the right one. But they're not. Not one denomination is mentioned in the Word. Only Christianity is talked about.
I think if we could get our minds focused on Christ we'd all be a lot better off.
>btw...the term “prot” is a bit condescending.<

I agree the term “prot” is a bit condescending. Using the terms catholic, methodist, baptist, and lutheran without capitalizing them is also condescending. To not capitalize them shows a lack of respect for followers of those denominations.
Also, while it is the belief of the Catholic Church and some Lutheran denominations that theirs is the right one, Baptists, Methodists, and other Lutheran denominations are more ecumenical. They and many other denominations partner together as Church Women United.
They keep on trying to get a rise; but I've not seen any results.
Oh well; it beats the boiling oil they USED to use with impunity!
