Why can't we love each and help each other find the path towards salvation?

Why can't we just call ourselves Christians instead of Catholic or Protestant?

@Enoin05 Thank you.I have no problems when Protestants' view are different from the Catholic Church.

It does make me sad when SOME protestants say we're not Christians and insist we worship idols. We don't and sometimes even when we deny this, some of these people still accuse us that we do...as if they know our faith more than we do which comes across as arrogant. I'm glad you're not like any of them. Thank you for your kind words. Jesus be with you :-)

I understand to this,but I dont like when its more important than the real relationship and when someone thinks that it is everything what christianity offers.If you see these things so amazing as you say, its beautiful:)Our interpretation of Bible is more easy,we believe that if Jesus said something, nothing could deny it and thats what we see in C.Church and it is unacceptable for us.But it is true that it is difficult to discuss and compare.i really dont want any hostility between us.GBY too!

John 6 53

Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.

54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.

55 For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink.

Thank you, Lord. For the gift of the truly intimate and wonderful, Holy Eucharist :-)

@Enoin05 Yes but u should try to understand too why we love our traditions. Even the Bible mentions the traditions.

These "rules and ceremonies" to us Catholics are gifts from God & the devout of us feel His presence in these amazing Sacraments.

We live by the Bible too. When Protestants say that we Catholics don't, they actually mean we don't live by THEIR interpretation of the Bible.

I know u mean well.I think the non-believers can use ur words more than us devout Catholics.

God bless you!

@theyanna We live just of words in the Bible. Nothing more. But it is the reason, why catholics and other churches who like tradition the same or more than Bible, don't understand us and why we are arguiing so often. We just returned back to pure message of Bible, without human tradition, without so many rules and ceremonies... It is necessary to understand who we are and also why we try so much to persuade catholics to change. It is not because of our proud, but our love.Forgive us our mistakes

@theyanna There is more churches of protestant branch. I must say, that i belong to one of many, that comunicate together and our faith is practically the same. Just our congregations have different names. For us is not important if we belong to some big super church. Much more important is the real relationship with Jesus. We come together to praise Him and to serve each other and others. But there are some more traditional churches that are also protestant but they do we are against for.

It's funny how some of the same Protestants come to these Catholic Youtube videos when there are tens of thousands of varying Protestants churches. They can't even agree among themselves but they insist we Catholics should see their interpretation.

It's difficult when Protestants have so many interpretations. Real hard to keep up with them =) Praise Jesus. Thank you for the Sacraments from the Catholic Church. What a gift everyone should receive! =)
