Are catholics really Christians?

Your attempt to enlighten them seems more of a feeling of superiority. They are, for the most part, deceived. I search constantly for deception within myself. I know there is some. I know that I don't/can't see it. There are beliefs and opinions that I hold that are only very slightly incorrect and there are some that are completely incorrect. I will not follow your instructions when I give my answer to your question. Perhaps I'm incorrect but I feel that would be a condemnation to Catholics. I do not have the ability to see their hearts and the authority to condemn has not been given to me. Satan is an exceptionally intelligent being. The deception of catholicism is very ancient. It is NOT Christian. I only wish I knew how to expose the deception to them. Though I have severely slammed that church, I will not insult deceived people.
