I had a debate with them once via email about brothers of Jesus, they claimed Mary had more children, they wouldn’t even consider that they were wrong.

Well, one can engage in a compelling argument. No one likes to be proven wrong, and in this case, we can present what we believe and hope they will be moved to consider it.

But in the case of this site…they are there to refute Catholicism.

The following except from their is site pretty much says it all:
They don’t regard Catholics favorably on any level.

If you do a search for “catholic” on their site, several articles come up that I would consider to be “anti-Catholic.” I don’t know whether it’s an intentional thing, or simply misunderstandings, but it’s still very much against Catholicism and the teachings of the Church.
 
That article is pretty good even if somewhat basic. The biggest concern I have is the solution appears as an individual or private action.

Many people experience past sins which have caused great harm or resulted in great harm to the person. These are generally not dealt with by a quick recognition to God and moving on with ones life.

A second concern is the lack of recognition many of our sins have deep emotional roots which manifest themselves in our bodily actions. Christ references this in that it is our thoughts that control our actions. Often, to deal with the outward action, one needs to deal with the underlying emotional driver.

These aren’t’ criticisms as much as acknowledgement of the limitations of basic solutions from a generic Christian standpoint.

546. What are the conditions for the salvation of such a good Protestant?
He must have Baptism at least of desire; he must be ignorant of the fact that the Catholic Church is the only true Church; he must not be responsible for that ignorance by deliberately neglecting to inquire when doubts have perhaps come to him about his position; and he must die with perfect contrition for his sins, and with sincere love of God. But such good dispositions are an implicit will to be a Catholic. For the will to do God’s will is the will to fulfill all that He commands. Such a man would join the Catholic Church did he realize that that was part of God’s will. In this sense the Catholic Church is the only road to Heaven, all who are saved belonging to her either actually or implicitly.
