Are Roman Catholics Christians

It depends on the Catholic in question. I believe that there are many who are Christians but include dodgy teachings in their beliefs
there are others who believe they are Christians because they were born into a Catholic family and attend Mass on a regular basis.
There are people who are not Catholics bur also follow dubious versions of Christianity including people on this site.

I have recently had a conversation with a Vicar in my local Church of England congregation. I mentioned that I was not a member of her Church believing in the apparently old fashioned belief that you really need to be Christened and confirmed to be a member. Her reply was as I lived in her Parish I was a member of her Church! So from that I assume that I could be a die hard Atheist or even a Satanist but as long as I live in her Parish she would still offer me communion.

I do not frequent her particular church on a regular basis and she has now retired. I wait with bated breath to hear her replacements views!

Hello Mark,

You are correct in that, there are those who belong to Christ within Mystery, Babylon the Great/Roman Catholicism who have been deceived by her and God is calling them to come out of her:

"Then I heard another voice from heaven say: "'Come out of her, my people,' so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues; for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes."

really what is a devoted Roman catholic ? and how is it that they cannnot be saved I would love to hear this one

Do you ever read carefully? I did not say they could not be saved I only said that they have more allegiance to Rome than to Christ.

A devotee is a devotee no mater to what they are devoted. Devotion to anything less that Christ is wholly insufficient.

Hello notuptome,

We are talking about people who are truly seeking after Christ and who belong to him, who have been deceived by Roman Catholicism as being the church of Christ. Once God calls them out of her allowing them to recognize that she is an imposter, then they will no longer be following after the practices of Roman Catholicism.

If that logic apply can a Jew still be a jew and saved ? Nothing was more allegiance to the Faith of the Jews and tradtion

For many catholic is an identity like republican and they don't do it because they believe but are taught as children, if they don't or they rebel that they will go to hell. So they are afraid to try and learn any other way.

Well I guess it depends on how you view grace and the law.

A saved Jew or a saved Catholic must know the false nature of their religious institutions. One becomes saved by grace not through any religion.

Christ saves individuals not religious groups.

There are Roman Catholics who are Christians, and there are Roman Catholics who aren't.
There are Baptists who are Christians, and there are Baptists who aren't.
There are Methodists who are Christians, and there are Methodists who aren't.
There are Pentecostals who are Christians, and there are Pentecostals who aren't.

Belonging to a denomination is not what makes a person a Christian. What makes a person a Christian is confessing Jesus Christ as Lord and believing in your heart that God raised him from the dead.

you mean Peter and Pual who were both saved did not have issue concerning the law and grace ? Are you saying noone in the cathloic church has an issue with it? Martin Luther did .

True. It is the soteriology that is important not the name on the door.

I only hope many who profess do indeed possess. Believing all that the scriptures teach of and about Christ. Romans 10:9-10

As I recall my history and correct me if I'm wrong the pope threw Martin Luther out of the Roman Catholic church. Those in authority in the Roman Catholic church have the issue with law and grace. They refuse to teach the truth. They choose to oppress the laity and deprive them of the gospel truth that can set them free. I find great parallel between the popes of Rome and the Pharisees in Israel.

It is in fact a problem to this day. Religion is power to those of a corrupt heart.

L....,

To properly function as a Christian in this secular society today we must know the difference in...assessment.....and....judgment.
Judgment ....no.......assessment of the many Anti-Christ around us........Yes.

Yes, many catholics have never heard a gospel, rather random verses picked out of context to twist the word into something it's not. We were taught unbaptized babies go to hell for keeps. They remain saved until they reach an age when they know better and to regain salvation they must confess to a priest do penance and receive communion if they should die somewhere in between Mary may interceed for them. May, not will. Many catholics cannot read or do not have access to an unmolested bible, in their language. Besides being taught not to question the church. And the Pope is the only human with access to the almighty.

Does God not have his own permission to make exceptions to his own rules? We were even taught to end all prayers with "All for Jesus through Mary." The catholics are more a religous nationality or race of people brainwashed from birth. They are not the blame. The Vatican is the government and the Pope is the dictator. GET IT?

Don't you believe bible prophesy, the Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ told us about the future. It saw The Roman Catholic Church in the future, killing the saints of God so much that it was described as a Harlot who was drunk on the blood of saints. If anyone finds out the truth and remains in that Church, then they will be cast into the lake of fire with it.

To be a Christian means you are a follower of Christ. You can't follow Christ and at the same time follow an Antichrist.
If God opens your spiritual eyes you will quickly recognize false doctrine and you will come out of the false Church.
The Holy Spirit will lead you into all truth, false teaching will be exposed by the light of the truth.
There is only one true Body of Christ and believers will come out of many false Churches to join the true Body of Christ. They will seek out a faithful Church where the Word of God is preached faithfully

There are Roman Catholics who are followers of Christ, and there are Roman Catholics who aren't.
There are Baptists who are followers of Christ, and there are Baptists who aren't.
There are Methodists who are followers of Christ, and there are Methodists who aren't.
There are Pentecostals who are followers of Christ, and there are Pentecostals who aren't.

I just exposed your comments as false and then you go and repeat them, strange guy

You did no such thing.
