@Azzmador @toxoplasmosis @DailyStormerDigest Thank you for the link; I‘ve been impressed with this guy before, and it’s good to get a more precise sense where you’re coming from.

I spent a good three years playing bass at an atypical (ie Congregation-led, kind of) Baptist Church, about half of which was spent in association with the IFCA. At no point did we ever consider ourselves “Protestant”, and indeed rejected the label; so I do get it.

That being said, from my perspective, so-called “Roman Catholicism” (in reality, Papism) is really the first Protestantism. While they may be Roman, they’re not *really* Catholic, and are *outside* the Church.

But if everyone else accepted my categories, they’d be agreeing with me.
