Are Catholics Christian?

Please no Catholics voting on this one.
Please provide your denomination in reply after voting.

So I voted yes, but I'm no longer associated with a particular denomination. I would just say I'm Protestant. One caveat - as with the Protestants, self-identification with a Christian religion isn't what makes you "saved", but sincerety of heart. And I believe the Catholics I've known and loved were truly sincere and saved.

Depends on a specific Catholic. The question cannot be answered generally.

Some are just traditional, some are fanatically into just Catholic stuff, but some are real Christians in their hearts and deeds and put their faith in Jesus as their Lord and Savior.

Protestant, without a specific denomination.

Yes- no denomination.

I'm Lutheran, and of course Catholics are Christians. That's like asking if water is wet.

For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.

Only the Lord knows.
No affiliation.

I’m sorry Chevy. I voted yes for obvious reasons and then proceeded to your op. I hope you can remove my (yes) vote. A little over anxious to vote on this one. Lol

 

[PloverWing]

Yes, of course Catholics are Christians. I'm Episcopalian.

If they look to the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ for the remission of their sin, they are.

Any doctrine based on faith's works (rather than just the faith itself)
in salvation and justification (declaration of righteous by God, by the imputed righteousness of Jesus Christ, allowing God's Holy Spirit to indwell them without defiling the pure and holy presence of God)
is not Christian.

Protestant

OK. To clarify I mean those sorts of Catholics who accept the Catechism of the Catholic Church as true.

The Catechism of the CC has 1500 pages.

Noone can understand or even remember it all, so every individual Catholic Christian has some private simplified catholicism he knows, emphasizes and lives.

I can't, or at least I don't know how to remove a vote. But it's not the end of the world. At least not today, although the day is still young. You weren't always a Catholic so I'll let it slide.

Very well, but that's an approach that is guaranteed to make the question that was put to us in the OP be unanswerable.

 

[Tigger45]

I voted yes and am a member of a Lutheran congregation although I frequently visit other churches such as Episcopal, Anglican, Catholic & Eastern Orthodox.

Thats why I did not vote.

 

[Michie]

The CCC has scriptural references for everything in it.

 

[public hermit]

Yes. It's a shame this is even a question, but I know how some can be. I keep telling Protestants that we wouldn't even be here if not for the RCC.
I'm Presbyterian.

 

[JesusTheMessiah]

I voted yes and I‘m Pentecostal.

1500 pages of CCC plus 1500 pages of the Bible plus various letters from pope plus cardinals in various specific countries plus the local priest... to make it easy for poor Catholics
