Catholic,Orthodox... at the same time

Is it possible to remove the denomination and just be a Christian?Theres gotta be a way.

Sure. Accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior and don’t join a church. I know dozens of people who have done this and actually prefer it because they think religion gets in the way. From my Catholic perspective, while I think they have taken the important first step of believing in Our Lord Jesus Christ, they are missing out on a lot of the richness of the true faith.

Catholic and Orthodox aren’t denominations. Protestantism has denominations.

And no, you cannot be all 3 at the same time.

Im not here to cause any mess.My question was clear and simple.If i can be both Orthodox and Catholic.I believe when Jesus left the earth didnt said “I leave behind the Orthodox church or the Catholic church” All these differences are made by us.As an Orthodox i hate the fact that Orthodox church doesnt accept Catholics with open arms in our churches while Catholics welcome us.

That’s called Spiritual but not religious and it makes no sense if I’m honest.

I found that becoming religious but not spiritual made me more spiritual a lot more than trying to be spiritual made me more religious.
