Catholic AnswerThe Catholic Church is Christian, as a matter of fact, it is the only true Christian Church: Our Blessed Lord only founded ONE Church, and guaranteed It and send the Holy Spirit to guide It until the end of the world. Therefore there is only one Christian Church and it is the Catholic Church on earth. All other sects and religions were formed by men centuries later and are Christian only insofar as they have a valid baptism and believe in the Nicene Creed in its traditional interpretation; in other words, Christians are Christians only insofar as they are Catholics. All other "Christians" are only using the word, and are not so in fact. Please note that Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the Catholic Church.
