Why would you use a Baptist anology?
After all your faith icon implies your Catholic.
What point is it to use scriptures to demean someone's Faith?
By definition Christian equates to Catholic or universal religion.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

His faith icon is Christian, not Catholic. At CF Catholic means Roman Catholic. He is not Roman Catholic, but Christian. His point is that the Seventh Day Adventist Church is a false religion based upon a false prophetess. I think you will agree with that, will you not?

Catholic with a small "c" means universal church.
SDA get a great deal absolutely wrong... to include the Book of Daniel.

I simply stated that, no matter how you wish to define Catholic or catholic, the definition used by the Christian Forums is Roman Catholic, the denomination. He self-idenitifies as Christian, not Catholic.

Could you please show where in CF rules it states Catholics are not Christian?
Ahhh.... ever hear of St.Pacian, Bishop of Barcelona? No? Here is a quote from him.
“And shall the Fathers rather follow our authority, and the antiquity of Saints give way to be emended by us, and times now putrifying through their sins, pluck out the grey hairs of Apostolic age? And yet, my brother, be not troubled; Christian is my name, but Catholic my surname. The former gives me a name, the latter distinguishes me. By the one I am approved; by the other I am but marked.” (Epistle to Sympronian 7 [A.D. 375])
Just a side note, Roman Catholicism is just one of many Rites within the Catholic Church

Perhaps you missed my point. My point was that he, a non-Catholic, was asserting that he, as well as all others here at CF, are, indeed, true catholics. While there is truth to that statement, the administrators here at CF recognize standard denominational terminology and thus distinguish adherents of the Pope in Rome as being Catholics and all other as being members of various other denominations.
Do you believe that I am a true catholic, such as yourself?

Do you believe, then, that Mrs. White was a true prophetess whose every word is, indeed, inspired by God Almighty?

Is this a form of fiction that you are writing or did the person you posted to actually say such a thing?
Facts matter.

Thank you, I am tired of bickering.
Just like Baptist or Word of Faith not all agree.
There are things in Word of Faith that sicken me,I simply know they are not mainstream.
Discord will always cause bitterness.

You are evading my question. However you define Christian I would like to know if "Do you believe that I am a true catholic, such as yourself?"

I do not believe asking where do you turn for answers, when discussing matters such as these being evasive. For example, do you turn to a pastor, church elder, the bible, or your personal opinion?
You mean like being a member of some sort of invisible organization, and is what you stated above biblical?

How about this: Catholic with a capital C normally means a Roman Catholic (and the other rites), although there are Old Catholics, Independent Catholics, etc.
But catholic with a small c normally refers to Christian orthodoxy. It's pretty obvious that not all Christians are orthodox in their beliefs, even if we don't all agree on the essentials or specifics that define orthodoxy.

Quite true. However, it seems to be rank heresy for a Roman Catholic to agree to such a definition. Thus, Fidelibus has routinely evaded this accepted definition.
