Second, who's claiming that anyone is a Christian because of the church they attend?

How many times have we read that ALL Catholics are Christians??? I'll bet you've said it yourself...

Of, course, I have... but didn't you even read the very next sentence from the same short paragraph of the very comment (#91) to which you're replying?

"I know of many people who don't even claim to be Christian, who attend once or twice out of curiosity (and some of them convert); I know of others who are not validly baptized, but who still attend.

Summary: "validly baptized" = Christian. Dismiss or argue that, if you like... but it soundly refutes the point which you're defending (i.e. that I ever claimed that someone is a Christian merely because of the "church" they attend). Someone can attend Catholic Masses as often as they like; if they're not validly baptized, they're not Catholic.
