Are Fundamentalists the only group who believe that Catholics aren't Christians or do Evangelicals think?

Question

the same way?

I think all Fundamentalists are Evangelicals, but not all Evangelicals are Fundamentalists.

So, from what I've been seeing some of both groups don't think we're Christians?

Yeah, Swiss Guard, you don't have to try to convert me. I AM a Catholic! I didn't ask whether or not Catholics ARE Christians; I already know we are and that most of these biases that some Christians have against us are false. I wanted to know, WHICH GROUPS hold these biases. You would have received an "F" for not answering the question!

Answer 1

AS A CATHOLIC, I have been told I'm not Christian by Baptists, Lutherans and CME members, Methodists, Presbyterians, Non-Denoms and just about every other kind of Protestant there is.

They are all wrong. Catholics ARE Christians. We are 100% Christian. We are followers of Christ in the oldest tradition. Until Martin Luther and John Calvin et al, we were the ONLY Christians.

People who say otherwise, generally are misinformed about Catholicism by other people who know nothing about it.

Answer 2

The elementary tenents of the Christian religion are determined in matters just like the Nicene Creed, the Apostles Creed.... adding the Trinity, Baptism, and the Eucharist. Of the ones you indexed, the Mormons aren't Christian considering they don't feel in a couple of of the ones tenents. Same is going for the JW's. Just considering you combine Jesus up to your faith does not make it Christian. Islam acknowledges Jesus, however they don't seem to be a Christian religion. The "relaxation" of the Christian denominations ... good... once more, in the event that they trust the Creeds (I use the Creeds as a "transient" method to "record" the tenents I confer with), then they are Christian. As for myself, I am Lutheran. Oh, and you'll placed your "wee-wee" again. Have a blessed day!

Answer 3

I consider myself fundamentalist... and the church in which I accepted Christ is a Pentecostal church so they are definitely fundamentalist.
They did not ever suggest nor support the idea that Catholics are not Christian. Additionally, when one congregant made that statement the pastors made it known that they did not agree with that person, to the contrary in fact.
While I see it here and have heard it before I have never held that belief.
As I have stated before, there are many people in all denominations who are Christian. And there are many people in all denominations who are going to church, but they do not belong to Christ because they have not given themselves to Him.

Answer 4

What does it really matter? The different religions have all stemmed from ONE God and all are flawed from mans need to control those around him. It ALL started with ONE God whose core message is Love and Forgivness. There is only ONE thing that we take with us when we die and leave this world and that is "accountability" for OUR actions in life. The world would be a much better place if people stopped worrying about who is what religion and simply tried to live by the "Golden Rule"........"Do Unto Others As You Would Have Others Do Unto You"

Answer 5

Jesus promised, "I will build my Church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it" (Matt. 16:18). This means that his Church will never be destroyed and will never fall away from him. His Church will survive until his return.

Among the Christian churches, only the Catholic Church has existed since the time of Jesus. Every other Christian church is an offshoot of the Catholic Church. The Eastern Orthodox churches broke away from unity with the pope in 1054. The Protestant churches were established during the Reformation, which began in 1517. (Most of today’s Protestant churches are actually offshoots of the original Protestant offshoots.) Only the Catholic Church existed in the tenth century, in the fifth century, and in the first century, faithfully teaching the doctrines given by Christ to the apostles, omitting nothing.

Jesus’ Church is called catholic ("universal" in Greek) because it is his gift to all people. He told his apostles to go throughout the world and make disciples of "all nations" (Matt. 28:19–20). For 2,000 years the Catholic Church has carried out this mission, preaching the good news that Christ died for all men and that he wants all of us to be members of his universal family (Gal. 3:28). Nowadays the Catholic Church is found in every country of the world and is still sending out missionaries to "make disciples of all nations" (Matt. 28:19). The Church Jesus established was known by its most common title, "the Catholic Church," at least as early as the year 107, when Ignatius of Antioch used that title to describe the one Church Jesus founded. The title apparently was old in Ignatius’s time, which means it went all the way back to the time of the apostles.

Answer 6

I'm a christian, a very liberal one and I don't believe that Catholics are christians, I think they have their own religion. For example, the Bible asks us to confess our sins to God, not the the priest in the box, to God. The Bible asks ppl to get baptised once they have accepted Christ, this is an important personal decision, but Catholics baptise their babies before they can even say 'yes this is what I want'...There's the whole praying the virgin mary and the Saints that really disturbes me because the Bible is really clear on that, you cannot pray someone else than God, and especially not other humans...And I could go on...

Answer 7

I am so surprised that anyone would think that Catholics aren't christians, that is so surprising...Of course it shocked me to learn, on this forum that some "christians" don't think baptism is necessary for salvation, too. wow, odd thinking

Answer 8

I am a fundie and I believe Catholics are Christians. I think they have some wrong ideas but none that are so wrong as to remove from them the title Christian.

Answer 9

I thought fundamentalists were all evangelicals.

Answer 10

Surely if any of them spent any time thinking, they wouldn't associate with each other anyway.
