Only in America are Protestants so intolerant of others.
But you do, and they are easier and more effective ways than Catholicism, the faith in Jesus Christ makes you a Christian.

Catholics are Christians. It's just that there are some concepts that are not bilbical. I have heard that Catholics do not have a good Bible knwledge because they do not read the Bible. Traditions of study.

Revelation 2:13-17 (King James Version)
13 I know thy works, and where you dwell, where Satan's throne: and you hold fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days in which Antipas my faithful witness was killed among you, where Satan lives.
14 But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols and to commit fornication.
15So you also to those who hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which I hate.
16Repent, or else I will come soon and fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
17He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches, to him who overcomes I will give the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, that no man who knows receives it.
The answer you're looking for is in verses 14 and 15.
Read what Imacatholic said:
Most-Catholic Christian denominations accept Catholics as Christians. A few do not.
The World Council of Churches, which brings together more than 340 churches, denominations and church fellowships in over 100 countries and territories around the world, representing some 550 million Christians accept the 1.1 billion Catholics and Christians .
This is only the beginning of a one world church.
This is what Jesus has to say to the 340 names.
Revelation 2:20
However, I have this against you, that you suffer that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit fornication and eat things sacrificed to idols.
Revelation 17
1 and came one of the seven angels having the seven bowls came and talked to me, saying, "Come, I'll show you the punishment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
Fornication 2With the kings of the earth have committed, and the inhabitants of the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her fornication.
3SO took me in the Spirit into the desert and saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4Y the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication;
5 and on her forehead a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES AND OF THE EARTH abominations.
6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her I wondered with great admiration.
7Y the angel said unto me: Why did you marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and beast that carries her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
8The beast that you saw was, and is not, and shall ascend from the abyss and go into perdition: and the inhabitants of the earth whose names are not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet it is.
9y here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits.
10y are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other has not yet come, and when he cometh, he must continue a short time.
11 and the beast that was, and is not, is an eighth, and is one of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
12And the ten horns you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom yet, but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
13These have one mind, and give their power and authority to the beast.
14These shall make war against the Lamb and the Lamb will overcome them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those with him are called, chosen and faithful.
15And he said to me: The waters you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages.
16 And the ten horns you saw the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, eat her flesh and burn her with fire.
17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfill his will, and agree and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God was fulfilled.
18And the woman you saw is that great city which reigns over the kings of the earth.

Welcome to the world of anti-Catholic bigotry. It's been around a long time. In reality, only the fulfillment of Scripture:
"Blessed are you when men hate you,
when excluded, insulted
and reject your name as evil, because of the Son of Man. "(Luke 6:22)
As for other Christians who are doing this, forgive them, too, because the prejudice against his brothers is a sin: "Whoever loves his brother in the light, and there is nothing in him to make him stumble. But he who hates his brother, in the darkness and walks in darkness does not know where it goes, because the darkness has blinded him. "(1 John 2:10-11)
I do not buy for a minute that Catholic bashers "love" us and produce a long list of accusations against the Church based on his concern that we are "wrong."
Maybe Catholics can do in response to this is to dig in and learn more about what the Church teaches, and become very familiar with the biblical basis of the doctrines of the Church. This means doing some homework, if our catechesis has not been enough - or do not pay attention - and a good place to start is by studying the Bible and the Catechism of side to side. Our main problem is the inability of some Catholics to express the truth of our faith with such ease and lightness as "Christians of the Bible." But we can change that.
Edit: The more "thumbs down" I get, the more I think that may have touched a nerve - and, interestingly, it shows my point. I really feel that "love".

A response to objections from Wizzle:
1) If you knew your history you would know that 7 books were removed from the original Christian Bible about 500 years ago. Nothing has been added 7 books were brought out. Check your history.
2) Jesus, God set it up to God will forgive those who apologize to specific men (priests and bishops). Jesus was given authority on earth to forgive sins of men (Matthew 6:8). Only God forgives sins, and He can do it any way he wants. Whether asking God directly or through a priest.
3) Christ is the only source of salvation. The Church is the Body of Christ. Therefore, salvation is found through the Church.
4) The baptism does not save? "These were the spirits of those who had not obeyed God when he waited patiently for the days when Noah built the boat. The few people on the boat — — eight in all were saved by water, which was a symbol pointing to baptism, now saves you. "(1 Peter 3:20-21)
Similar responses to all charges. To learn more just contact me.
God Bless

Go to your search words button.Type, Martyrs Mirror. Here is how the Catholic Church tortured and killed Christians.Many of them were murdered simply because he believed in infant baptism and were re-baptized.
Nina: Sister properly.Look been informed how many of them to answer a question will refer to a website instead of scripture.Minnow Simon was a Catholic priest in church.He heard they had put a young man to death to be re-baptized.He states in his testimony that he opened his Bible and read for the first time the words "Repent and be baptized" Acts 2:38, "He that believeth and is baptized will be saved but he that believeth not shall be damned "Mark 16:16. How can a baby Repent or believe? Everything I had learned what I wanted to know. At a time when the laity were forbidden to read the Word of God.They boast and say that if, if not for the Catholic church do not even have Bibles.But story tells of two men who were persecuted by the Church Catholic church to translate the Bible into English.
1384 AD: Wycliffe is the first person to produce a (handwritten) original copy of the entire Bible, all 80 books.
1526 AD: William Tyndale New Testament, the New Testament for the first time in the English language.
You can accuse me of being anti-Catholic if you wish, but I have stated facts here in my answer to you.
"Am I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the truth?"
Born Again Catholic, I can relate to thumb down side here.

Really, really does not matter. Believe what you want to believe, they believe what they believe … religion is only at the end of the day.
