Thus we cannot recognize either the Roman State Church as being a part of Christ's Church on earth or in heaven nor accept the overwhelming majority of Rome's members are being part of the body of Christ, aka: Christian. Yes, there are undoubtedly exceptions in regard to individuals who are ignorant of what Rome teaches/believes. But we are confident that when these individuals are eventually enlightened, they will leave Catholicism as the truth of Scripture is revealed to them.

Romans 10:9-11 "for, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For one believes with the heart and so is justified, and one confesses with the mouth and so is saved. For the scripture says, 'No one who believes in Him shall be put to shame.'"

I believe this biblical passage would do some good for both Protestants and Catholics to remember
