There isn't one answer to this. Nowadays, most Catholics would consider Protestants Christian and often refer to Catholics as "Catholics" and Protestants as "Christians." Many Protestants consider Catholics to be Christians, but many do not consider them to be Christians. Typically, the more fundamental the Protestant, the less likely he is to consider a Catholic a Christian.
This is true and better worded than what I posted. It's a continuum, all right. The more fundie, the more implicit distrust of Catholics and their status as Christians. What I would love to know is WHAT doesn't make us Christians? Not that I care about their judgment. The fundies don't have the great universities, school systems and hospitals that the Catholics put together in this country.

It usually has to do with the Pope, saints, and Mary mostly. I know that many in my family think that the position of the Pope will be the anti-Christ.
Complex answer to a simple yes/no question. Still really don't know your answer. No need to quote scripture. What is YOUR belief? Is heaven reserved for only christians?
The topic of this thread is..
Quote:
Do Protestants/Catholics see each other as Christian?
I quote scriptures because this is what CHRISTIANS DO.. Christians believe the scriptures, so we are not afraid to quote scriptures!
Iam4USC I answer short and to the point: CHRISTIANS enter the "Throne room"! The "Throne Room" is in heaven! The Apostles are sitting on THRONES in the Throne Room!
The Apostles are CHRISTIANS, they enter the Throne Room, they are God' children! The CHILDREN of the King enter the Throne Room!
The Thief on the cross went to a Garden.. Paradise is in heaven.. Paradise is NOT the Throne room! Revelation 2:7
Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.
The Thief On The Cross was NOT a child of the King, he was NOT CHRISTIAN!!
Iam4USC The scriptures (above) prove the "Thief On The Cross" did NOT ENTER the Throne room, he was NOT Baptized! He was NOT CHRISTIAN!
John the Baptist did not enter the Throne Room, he was NOT Baptized, before Jesus could send the Holy Spirit at Pentecost! Iam4USC John died before PENTECOST!
MORE SCRIPTURES!! Matthew 11:11
Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet whoever is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
Iam4USC John died before PENTECOST, he was NOT Baptized by the Bride, he was NOT CHRISTIAN!
ANSWER (explained by scriptures above): Non Christians can still be saved!!!

wow! so far fetched it seems unbelievable---where is it stated in their bibles that a pope is the antichrist in exact wordage???
This thought just came into my mind: Only christians believe in Heaven, so why does this matter anyways? Whether we believe non-christians will go to heaven or not is a complete farce to non-christians.
Muslims believe in "paradise" aka "heaven"
Cant be certain it is not Christian influenced, but the Germanics believed in the select spending time in Valhalla in preparation for the final war with the forces of the underworld.
It's not exact wordage (pope Anti-Christ) but just want they think. My family (and many other Protestants) are extremely anti-Catholic.
I reply...
Point of interest..
I understand the Muslims believe the "Anti-Christ" will be "Motherless" the Anti-Christ will only have a father no mother!
I want to note.. Catholic's have a Father & Mother... Father, The Groom.. God! Mother, The Bride.. The Catholic Church!
Catholic's are IN the Family.. The complete family of God!
The Protestant is mother-less... auntieannie68, psr13 Ask your protestant family and or friends.. "God is your father, then who is your mother"?! Point out: Even Jesus had a mother. Point out: No man gains the title "Father" unless a mother gives birth! Point out: It takes Two parents not just one to form a child!
The Catholic is IN the body of Jesus thus; Mary is our Grand mother all "IN" Jesus, honor Mary the Mother of Jesus!
Jesus honors Mary his mother, he MUST honor Mary, we can be sure because, God COMMANDS; "Honor mother and father"! IF..
If Jesus did not honor Mary his mother, he would be breaking a commandment, he would be sinning! IF..
If Jesus was to sin he would not be perfect, he would NOT be God!
auntieannie68, psr13 Mary is the Mother of Jesus thus Mary is also the Mother of the Catholic Church, the body of Jesus!
I think the Muslims are right.. The thousands and thousands of protestant churches all, claiming to have the ONLY Truth, not even one believes the same PROVES God never did have a hand in the formation of all these man made churches! PROVING: Satan is the Father of all the chaos found in these man made protesting churches!
Protesting AGAINST Jesus and his Holy Bride!

Saints - some of them laid down their lives for Christianity. If we were asked to do that...
Mary - she is the mother of Jesus, and it's in all versions of the New Testament, that I'm aware of, as well as all manger scenes.
The Pope - I don't think there ever will be a Pope who is THAT charismatic and universally liked.
The presence of the Saints and Mary and the institution of the Papacy do NOT change the message of Christianity.

Try telling all of that to Protestants. My niece would spend a lot of time at our place and say things like, "I love Mary." That would have driven my family completely crazy. While they acknowledge she was the mother of Jesus, that is all the credit they will give her. The Catholic view of Mary is a huge sticking point for Protestants.
