In the Apostle's Creed the Methodist (and other Protestant denominations) declare: "I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, ...". In this context, the term "holy catholic church" (note the lower case "c" not upper case "C") refers to the universal church not the Roman Catholic Church. The universal church is a term for the larger Christian community (including Catholics, Protestant denominations, etc.). And likewise, the Nicene Creed reads similarly with "We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church".
