That's an over statement and erroneous conclusion.After some analysis of the main issues concerning several denominations in Christianity, the question has arisen in my mind as to whether in fact there are so many true fundamental doctrinal differences that each could be considered a distinct religion:
For example, the Baptist denomination, the Methodist denomination, the Catholic denomination. The fundamentals regarding key doctrines are so distinct that they could qualify as separate religions.
All branches are from the same tree whose roots stem from Judaism.. they too have different denominational beliefs.
So the pot is calling the kettle black.
There are those within Christianity who do erroneously disqualify some denominations.. however they are making the same mistake as you are.The fundamental issues about justification, salvation, faith versus works, intermediaries etc. leads me to the conclusion that these are different religions, whereby each would consider the members of the other group not saved for eternal life.
In order to be actual different religions they would each have to have a different Bible with different rules, and a different chief leader. Compare the Quran for instance.
It's important to correct those who make the wrong conclusions.And this is a very important matter to Christians.
