Answer 1

Yes, Catholics are Christian.

.

Catholic AnswerNo, not really. Actually, it is the other way around. All Christians, since 33 A.D. have been Catholics. When a heretic protests against the Church that Our Blessed Lord founded, and leaves to found a new "church" they have left Christianity. However, protestants, who have been raised outside the Church, are considered Christians IF they have been validly baptized and believe in the Nicene Creed in its traditional interpretation. However, this modern way of talking that defines anyone as Christian "if they believe in Jesus Christ" is fallacious and erroneous. For one thing, they are not necessarily validly baptized, for another thing, the Lord that they "believe in" is not Our Blessed Savior, who actually walked this earth for thirty-three years, established a Church on His Apostle, Peter, and sent the Holy Spirit to guide it always. This attributing the name "Christian" to anybody of good will does nobody any favors, and, in fact, hurts people in that they believe they have already done everything necessary for their salvation. It is to be deplored.
A christian is one who believes and follows Jesus Christ. All Catholics are Christians. If not Catholic and you believe and follow Jesus you are Christian.
