It would be nice to get closer to Evangelicals. My experience with them from living in the South for a few years is that they are extremely hostile to Catholicism, but if they get to know you, they begin to moderate their opinions.
I think some of this is cultural, because much of the Evangelical movement comes from places that generally had very few Catholics, so their information came only from what some preacher or tract might tell them. Personal contact is probably the most important thing in this case.
I grew up in MS and have lived n AL since 1966. I can truthfully say not one minister mentioned Catholics. I have attended many different kinds of churches from Assembly of God to non denomination.
You hit it right on the nail.
