I am a Lutheran Protestant in a Catholic family, which should answer your question.

Catholics are Christians. Yes - I have attended Jewish synagogue, several Methodist and Lutheran churches, I studied with Jehovahs Witnesses for about a year, and I have visited some new age groups. I am still Catholic.

Why do so many people think that Catholics are not Christians? Your question makes absolutely no sense.
-
Catholics kind of are Christians.... Well, I was born Catholic, but I've only been to one Catholic church in my life. I've been to about fifty (I wish I was exaggerating) Protestant churches of various denominations, however.

Catholics can be christian and christians can be catholic and people who go to church ever sunday can be non-christians - Christianity and Religion do not always go hand in hand

Love the RC's, I am Christian,,,,(Go Jesus!) Furthermore I support any religion that brings forth the Spirit, Honor, and Glory of God. I went to Catholic High School and College. I am now an elder in a Pentecostal Church.

They are not necessarily mutually exclusive groups. Catholics ARE Christians. Catholicism is merely a branch of Christianity. There are many definitions of 'Christian': one who goes to church and participates in baptism, one who accepts the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, one who believes in the Nicene Creed, or one who simply follows the teachings of Jesus Christ, etc. Roman Catholics define a Christian as one who has become a member of the church through the sacrament of baptism. This is true whether they are a practicing Catholic or not. As for me, my religious affiliation has been challenged, so I do not wish to proclaim a label that I would have to defend. I've attended religious services for the Catholic, Jewish, Presbyterian, Protestant, and an Eastern Indian Religion (not sure what is was called!).

Catholics ARE Christians. And yes, I have visited other churches of many different religions. I have been to a Hindu temples, synagogues, various and asundry Protestant churches, you name it. But in the end, I still choose my own faith (Catholicism)over all the others.

I went to a synagogue with school once, it was pretty cool. I also wandered into a protestant church once but felt kind of dirty afterwards, like I was doing something wrong, so I quickly left. I also went to St Paul`s Cathedral in London but it was actually pretty boring and once again I felt like it was blasphemy to be there so I found a pub and went drinking instead.

When I write that it was because Meg asked how do you tell someone is catholic, and the sign of the cross although done by all Christians during mass, is done repeatedly by orthodox Christians especially Catholics, and when I said “those types” I meant the few who actually do it repeatedly and not just at the start of a prayer. I noticed they are not the same, and have been to several (I should have mentioned) such masses. Well done for being ecumenical in your worship, and although going to mass is not the most exiting thing in the world, I find it is a good way to reflect and believe that connecting to a faith is a good way to promote social stability and moral beliefs. I respect all other braches of Christianity and all different cultures, but in this case I do think the minister changed his sermon when he realised that their were practising Catholics in his church. I have been to protestant masses before and on no occasions did they exhibit any such behaviour, but in this case, he did. I possible reason for why this is that this particular church was in a small Kentish village where there are two churches, a catholic church and a church of England church. When the minister realised that we were not just Catholics but catholic tourists who for some reason were in his church, he must have assumed that we contained some level of apathy towards our faith and perhaps could be converted to his beliefs. Saying that, I do not bear any resentment to him, as it is to be expected that in small communities we a peaceful divide such as religion that a minister thinking himself to be a patriotic may wish to enlist more members as so to tip the balance between the catholic and protestant groupings, of course knowing that we are only visitors in the village, I can assume that he has become conditioned to this behaviour because of his long service in the community. The reason why this surprised me is because I am from a city where there is no strong differentiation between Christian groups; the parishioners in my area are accustomed to preaching to anyone of faith who has no set church of worship, and so their conversion tactics are not based on competitiveness within a community but on the genuine messages of the church. When I myself arrived in the city a few years ago I found solace in a church of England, as I was new here and the only church in the area was not of my denomination, I attended this church on multiple occasions and found the local priest to be vary helpful in locating the nearest catholic church and in asserting my family in this new environment. Thank you for your concern and your advice on religious education, although I would advise that you take into account not just the international religious traditions and practices of the modern area but also take into account the local and cultural circumstances that may influence the beliefs and actions of the modern day Christian.
