Everyone who is Catholic should respond “yes”. If you say you are Catholic, that is fine, but Catholics are Christians, and those of us who know that make things worse by not making that very clear.
Good point m134e5, some Catholic’s own responses go on to further the debate/question, “Are Catholics Christian”. Because they themselves are/have been saying they are not. They should get educated in the Faith.
I reply, “yes”. If they inquire about what Church I attend, I say, “St Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church.” If they say, “I thought you said you were a Christian,” I say, “I am. And I am a member of the first Christian Church, the one established by Jesus Christ, the Catholic Church.”
