Since this was a single paragraph after a discussion on protestants, are all of us God fearing, bible beleaving, Jesus following Christians who are NOT Catholic to surmise that the Roman Catholic church views us all as members of heretical churchs? i.e. is this sentence inclusive of ALL protestants? i.e. non-Roman catholic, non-Orthodox Christians?

That's exactly what they teach...And during the middle ages, if you refused to bow to the pope, you were murdered, burned at the stake, babies were killed in front of their mothers, etc...That is not a 'church' I care to belong to...

You wouldn't happen to have a reference for this remarkable historical nugget would you?

Since Protestants are guilty of this behavior, and more (Queen Elizabeth I, etc...), may we also assume that you would not like to belong to any protestant "church" either??

Yes, you could just belong to one of the churches that murdered Catholics. Protestant's history is quite dark too, if we want to play this game.
