    Non Catholics are permitted to come in and worship with Catholics in a Catholic parish.

    False doctrine is not fine and that is why I reject and repudiate the false Catholic doctrines.

    If we know the truth, and a religous group's doctrines are deceiving people into hell, are we not accomplices by not saying anything to possibly stop it and save some of those who may believe that they do not need Jesus Christ to be saved?

    Isn't identifying as a Catholic supporting their false doctrines? I don't think you can have it both ways in the eyes of God.

    I do tell other Catholics on discussion forums about the false Catholic doctrines and that the only way of becoming saved is by giving ones life to Christ and trusting entirely in Him alone for salvation. I do not do it via verbal communication though.

    When Paul received Jesus Christ as Lord he turned from the religion of Judaism because it's doctrines were not in line with Jesus Christ...

    "Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ," (Phl 3:8)

    Identifying as a Catholic does not denote subscribing to the false Catholic doctrines. I do not subscribe to the false Catholic doctrines. I do not assume that everybody who identifies as a Catholic subscribes to the false Catholic doctrines. That is just utter stupidity to assume that everybody who identifies as a Catholic subscribes to the false Catholic doctrines.

    Then you have no need to identify as a Catholic just so you can worship with them.

    I don't see how you saying it is stupid makes it stupid. If I say I am a Baptist then I am saying I agree with their doctrines, ALL of them. I would never identify as anything that was not 100% in line with my beliefs.

    Of course when a Jew accepts Jesus as their Savior and Lord then they must leave Judaism and unite with a church that worships Jesus as God. But since the Catholic Church worships the biblical and historical Jesus as God then there is no need of me to cease attending the Catholic Church and only attend the Baptist Church.

    Doesn't it bother you that they deceive millions into believing they need only be good in their own religion to be saved? By identifying as a Catholic are you not supporting this?

    If you are a catholic, you subscribe to their false doctrines. If you don't, you are not a catholic; You are an apostate who attends catholic mass.

    It is like being a member of the Mafia and saying I don;t agree with all the killing but I like the perks I get.

    In like manner, the Catholic Church, by telling millions of lost souls that they are ok with God in their perspective false religions, is murdering them.

    Yes I am bothered by the unscriptural Catholic doctrine that good works have something to do with salvation. And I do not believe that because I identify as a Catholic I am supporting that unscriptural doctrine.

    I consider myself a Catholic regardless if I do not subscribe to the false Catholic doctrines because of the fact that I was Baptized Catholic and I attend Mass at the local Catholic parish on Saturday Vigil Mass. I also consider myself a Baptist because of having been Baptized via immersion at that Baptist Church I attend on Sunday mornings.

    The good works added to Jesus Christ doesn't bother me as much as the fact that they go as far now as to take Jesus Christ out all together and declare that any religions good works will save people, even without Jesus Christ. Now that is MAJOR! I could not ever identify with Catholicism at all for this very reason.

    I think the "Church of What I Want It To Be" is most likely the church you are searching for. Why not just take a stand one way or the other and be done with it?
