what makes a Christian?

Not smart, my… Lemme re-phrase that!

Monica, you have it right. “This does not seem to agree with the official church documents on the matter I have seen quoted, nor does it line up with what other catholic posters have said.”

cath2lic4ever is wrong. Let’s pray for him/her.

thank you for praying for me ruthie. i certainly need it. if the holy see says that a non-catholic can also be called CHRISTIAN, then so be it. i need to listen and be a good follower. thanks again GOD bless & prayers to all!

When you find the word “Christian” in official documents of the Church, (example The Book of Christian Prayer) it is normally referring only to Catholics in communion with Rome.

But we also speak about non-Catholic Christians when we are speaking about ecumenical issues - so, it can certainly be confusing, at times.
