Is it possible to be a Christian and Catholic in one religion?

Answer 1

Roman Catholic AnswerActually it is really not possible to be anything other than Christian and Catholic, except that in the modern world, protestants have taken over the word, Christian, and use it to exclude Catholics. But for fifteen centuries there was nothing else. Since that time, the Church has found that one can be a Christian and not Catholic, if you are validly baptized and profess the Nicene Creed in its traditional interpretation. In that case you would be a Christian but in schism. The word Christian as used by the protestants is basically meaningless.
