It does mean the Catholic (Universal) Church, but not the RCC.

I can say that that is definitely not part of the Church.

Regardless, are you really so offended by that? It took much worse than that to bother me when I was a Christian. I'm also not sure God cares about if we capitalize the word or not. In Hebrew, there are not capitol letters. |

To what are you referencing? What is not a part of the Church, the AC?

I was not offended, just informing you that it is disrespectful.

According to the Bible, the Church, and Christianity in general really.
Bahai? Not Christian.

Bahai? Not Christian.
The Bible doesn't list what is a Chruch and what is not other than the belief in Christ and "The Way".
"The Church" does not dictate anything.
Christianity is not called upon to pick and choose what it will.

1 Corinthians 5:12 (New International Version)
12What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside?
We are given the authority to judge those who would bring false teachings into the Church.
