Some one who identifies themselves as Catholic and then misleads as to what the Catholic Church Teaches, besides being guilty of one of the two sins I listed before, is also guilty of scandal if they lead anyone away from what the Church Teaches.No it was not an attempt at anything other than to clear up whom the Catholic Church defines as its members. And wrong. They may or may not be as faithful as you. But are considered Catholic. Besides the CCC and the Pontifical Council writings I offered, I could also FAX a letter from a bishop explaining who is considered a Catholic by the Church. But I’m certain you are actually aware, as in a previous post you affirmed as well who the Church may define as being in the Catholic Church. Perhaps semantics comes into play because some perhaps have difficulty with this teaching. But indeed carry on. God bless you along your lifelong journey of faith and peace.
The only reason to bring up who is or who is not a Catholic in this discussion that I can see is to lead away from the actual discussion into some side issue that really has no meaning.
