Hold on bro, stop. Catholics and Orthodox are the first and original forms of Christianity. You don’t get to make up your own rules, 1, 600 years later because it’s convenient. Check your self.

„Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.“
‭‭Romans‬ ‭5:9-11‬
HE WHO REPENTS FROM HIS SINS AND BELIEVES IN THE LORD JESUS FOR HIS SALVATION SHALL BE SAVED BY FAITH BY THE GRACE OF GOD ALONE IN AN INSTANT.
Paul knew what he was writing, and inspired by the Holy Spirit, shows every honest reader of the Bible that salvation is a free gift, period.
God saves us so that we do good works AFTER we have been saved, not to BE saved.

I asked God. Catholic? Protestant? What should I be? He said, “You should be mine.” There was no intermediary, so I guess I have my answer. 😂😂😂😂😂

All Catholics are Christians, but all Christians are not Catholic.

We do not worship saints or put them above God, we ask for their intercession similarly to how we would ask a friend for prayers. This is not worship.

You cannot be saved purely by faith or works. As St. Paul said, it is a journey. We can, be certain that we are saved, however, if we are following God's commands. Just because I have faith does not mean I can do whatever I want and still go to Heaven. I cannot go murder someone but have assurance that I am going to Heaven if I died the next second.

If Christ established a Church, then whatever your personal beliefs are, you need to put them aside and follow the Church which Christ established. The Bible and historical records affirm that that is the Roman Catholic Church.

My friend, who call himself a Christian does a lot of Fornication but is repeatedly telling me that he will be saved because he Believes in our Lord Jesus Christ.... While reasons can be subjective as to how he belives while being saved, do you think he can really be saved by having both things in mind and living the same way all through out? I am not clean myself but I really want to be enlightened on these continious sins that we usually validate because of the word of our Lord.

[richardkramer]

The entire premise is false and misleading. I have never heard a Catholic represent themselves as "not Christian." If some did to this confused pastor, they were as confused as the pastor. Catholics were the original Christians and that has never changed. Sola scriptura is a false, man-made teaching that was conjured up in the 16th century by Luther so he could deny the teaching authority of the RCC, given by Christ in the bible. Twisting interpretations of the bible by Protestants doesn't change the truth. What Luther spawned...a legacy of confusion and disunity with thousands of Protestant sects claiming different theologies but believing they adhere to the bible and biblical truth, begs much better questions. Are Protestants Christians, and exactly what is a Christian if many of them don't follow the teachings of Christ? The Holy Spirit does not sanction that confusion and disunity that sola scriptura spawned, and the resulting lies told about the Catholic church by many Protestants. Asking if it might be Satan inspiring that is a better question.

Pls read the Bible understand what is written and follow the ways required for us. Have faith in God, Jesus and Virgin Mary. Never practice homosexuality nor attempt for suicide. Repent from your sins. Pray and pray more. Please do your part to gain your salvation to God. Help other people for each soul is important to God.

[hilaryxko]

Sorry but I don’t think you know anything about Catholics’ doctrines

[David-nyzt]

Come home protestant brothers and sisters. Either the Roman Catholic Church or The Eastern Orthodox Church, not some church that was started by someone who had a tantrum and left the church

[imjustheretogrill]

What Catholic doesn’t consider themselves Christian?

[alexjoneschannel]

I studied the scriptures myself. I go from being a Baptist (modern day Donatist heretic) to Catholic (Fullness of faith, one true church holy and apostolic)

Catholic vs Christian | “I am a Catholic. Why should I consider becoming a Christian?”
Apparently this guy KNOWS there is a difference!!!!
CHRISTIAN
The Greek word Χριστιανός (Christianos), meaning "follower of Christ", comes from Χριστός (Christos), meaning "anointed one",
FOLLOWERS of the TEACHINGS of Christ!!!
Written 2000 years ago! NOT my interpretation!!!
>>>
A Christian (/ˈkrɪstʃən, -tiən/) is a person who follows or adheres to Christianity, a monotheistic Abrahamic religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.

[cristoferchanimak]

Im neither Catholic nor Protestant, but both are under the umbrella of “Christianity.” Of course, substantial differences, but it’s a semantic fallacy to pretend that Catholics aren’t (the first) Christians, although I understand Catholics may not be considered by Protestants as to meet the criteria they have for “Christian’s.” But if you’re talking to a Catholic, there is very little reason for them to believe that their faith is not a Christian one.

[johnsteila]

You obviously don’t understand a fundamental principle here. Catholics are Christians, in fact they are (with Orthodox), the first and original Christians. Please get educated.

[handisusilo]

St Peter as a the first Pope or the chairman of the disciples . It is true and right according to the Bible and church history . Why is the protestant christian don't believe it, although they teach Sola scriptura . It is a disturbing and controversial in their doctrine self .

This was the most American video I’ve ever seen…

Catholics are Christian and the one true Faith.

[findyouranchor]

GOD loves you all and I like to lay out my thoughts on this topic:
1. Christians or Christianity meaning is “little CHRIST”. This term means someone who follow CHRIST - JESUS, and to elaborate what follow JESUS means that require someone to follow JESUS’s teachings.
2. The matter of whether Catholics say Peter is the first Pope. I think if the Pope serves the good of all people then he should be representation of Peter.
3. Catholics or Christians are both followers of Christ only if they read the Scriptures and practise them in their daily lives.
4. To be Christ followers, I think you must realise CHRIST has healed you from your previous sinful lives and now you publicly denounce that life and truly become his Disciplines through his teachings.
5. I have seen more Christians converted than Catholics and truly love their faith and I have seen my Catholics friends are now living in sins and go to church weekly and it grieves my Spirit to see my brothers and sisters living like that.
6. Christians or Catholics, we are all brothers and sisters in CHRIST.
7. Even they are atheist, be good to them because CHRIST said so.
Peace be with you all.

I saw the title Catholic vs Christian and I knew this is going to be bad.
