Yes, I would switch to R.C. but if they thought Luther was a handful, they'd have to start all over again, and before long, I'd be an excommunicated billionaire!

I was raised Roman Catholic, now that is religion...repetitive, dead, and boring. I came to learn the church doesn't follow the Bible in many areas (they even took out the commandment about not worshipping images and separated another commandment into two so they would have 10).
I didn't even anything about the Holy Spirit (other than His name) until I started reading the Bible and until He made me 'born-again'.
Anyways, I switched for free because God called me out. Now I have a relationship with Jesus, not a religion. Now I pray from the heart, not from prayers I've memorized. Now I talk to God 1 on 1, I don't need a mediator because there is only one mediator between man and God, the man Christ Jesus (1 Timothy 2:5)
The most important thing for anyone is for 2 Corinthians 5:17 to happen to them because of John 3:3!

I use to be a catholic and I never became a protestant. The word protestant is used by catholics to describe other religions. I renounced the catholic religion and became a born again Christian. No amount of money in the world could get me to turn from the truth and go back to idol worship. Jesus is the only truth and the only way of Salvation.

I am a Roman Catholic. I might be able to be convinced to become Orthodox or Episcopalian for a billion dollars. I count several Episcopalian priests among my friends, and I respect them. The Orthodox liturgy is also quite nice.

Sure, I was raised a Lutheran, married a Catholic, raised the children Catholic, and now go back to the Lutheran church. They are very similar religions now (except for the pope and the saints).

Yes. I would worship with any other Christian who isn't completely misguided. These are both Christian sects who honestly try and understand Christ's message the best we can. We are brothers along with the Orthodox Christians in the east.

No because what experiences I have had in Catholicism have been worth over a billion dollars.

What you are asking me is would I give up eternity in heaven for a few bucks down here. The answer is no, Catholics are not Christians therefore they are not going to heaven unless they become born again
