<You are the one claiming to be a Roman Catholic Christian. I quoted a Roman Catholic source for that reason. > "That's fine, but that isn't some "universal definition" of "Christian". Cause there isnt' one I presume, despite your claim." You are wrong as it has been amply demonstrated. The Creeds have been at universal test of Orthodoxy since their inception nearly two thousand years ago and they remain so to this day among the vast majority of Christian Churches of all stripes and denominations. The Creeds themselves are based on Scripture which predates them. The Creeds were developed in response to challenges that were made mostly about the Person and nature of Jesus and His relation to God. (See Quiz bellow) "No one said it was an 'excuse'... YOU are implying that NONE OF THEM ARE CHRISTIAN!!!" I don't know any of them personally so I can't really answer that, but generally if you knowingly and willfully deny the major tenets of any authoritative system whether that be a Church or a political party then can legitimately be considered NOT to be a bona fide member of that group. If someone shows up at the Democratic National Convention and blithely opposes every major position in the party platform then it could be rightly said of that person, that they are not a Democrat, even though dissent may not be expressly forbidden in the official documents of the party. This is even worse in the case of Roman Catholicism because it is their officially, infallibly stated position that all Catholics must accept any officially declared Dogma. "If a baptized person deliberately denies or contradicts a dogma, he or she is guilty of sin of heresy and automatically becomes subject to the punishment of excommunication." theworkofgod.org I am not a Roman Catholic by choice because they have declared doctrines to be binding Dogma that contravene the Scripture, and I believe they do not preach the Gospel, but foist a system of their own making onto the people. ......................................................
