I
You know...Protestants are guilty of the same exact things that Catholics are accused of. We have just as much ritual as they do. As a Protestant of half my life who worked for the Catholic church for several years I can attest that there are many Catholic's that are Christians and for anyone making the damnation judgment that they are not, the scripture says we are not to judge (on salvation) because only God sees the heart.
There is one requirement to be a Christian and that is Jesus, plain and simple. It is prideful to think that only certain churches contain real Christians.
There are a lot of assumptions made by Protestants on Catholics that frankly are not true. Us Protestants can learn a LOT from Catholics and Orthodox. The baby got thrown away with the bath water all those years ago.

I am a Catholic. Why should I consider becoming a Christian?
