That is not always true, it was a non-denominational minister that told me it was OK to be Catholic, within three weeks I started going to RCIA. Protestant Churches are the main-line Protestant Churchs which evolved out of the reformation. Most Baptist Churchs are truly non-demoninational, as well as a large portion of Pentacostal churchs.
If you look into the belief statements of many non-demoninational churchs you find that they are either really Baptist or Pentacostal in nature.
The use of the term of non-demoninational is a declartion of self-autonomy, which can be looked at as not being Catholic, but in many cases today it is to say that they aren’t one of the dying and spiritless main-line protestant churches, which in thier eyes is just as bad as being Catholic.
The one I use to belong to had people that grow up in every demonination that you could find in the phone book, the main reason for many to join it, was it seemed to them, me too, that they found the church as it was in the first century, but they have a lot to learn, as I did.One thing I will say, is they love God and serve others with a great commitment,they truly try to live thier faith.
**The reason I left and came into full communion with Rome, was not because they didn’t seem to have a true love of God, they reflect that love in thier actions, but because I realized that what they wanted and what I wanted is found in its fullness in the Catholic Church, which was the Church from the beginning.
To belittle them because they don’t understand, yet, that the fullness of the faith is found in the Catholic Church is non-productive. I think it is from thier ranks you are going to find more of them coming home to Rome then the so-called demoninational churchs**.:twocents:
By the way the Catholic Church isn’t a demonination it is the Church Christ started.
