I'm an Agnostic, and I always thought that a "Christian" was anyone who believed that Jesus was the son of God and that, by accepting him, he forgave you for his sins. There are many differant denominations of Christians, but they all agree on that one central idea, correct?
It has been my understanding that Catholics not only believe this as well, but that the Catholic church was the church from which all the other Prodistant denominations branched off from when Martin Luther nailed his grevances to the church door. Is this correct?
So why do I see questions and answers that seem to classify Catholics as "non-Christians?" I know they arn't Prodistants, but they believe in the saving grace of Jesus, so that makes them Christians, right? Is there some other core belief that makes them non-Christians that I am missing here, or is it just the ignorance of others?
