Which honestly if you study the Catholic religion, it would make sense why Protetants would see it as more of a cult. I know, I grew up Southern Baptist. I grew up Baptist with parents from Methodist and Lutheran churches. It's not by any means a majority view. I think you and Zikten might also be conflating two things. The belief that some of the unique tenants of Catholicism that differentiate it from Protestantism preclude it from being Christianity is not a very accepted belief and is pretty hard to substantiate, as even Martin Luther himself wouldn't claim that Catholics weren't Christian even despite all the flaws he saw in how the church was being run (and the two branched have reconciled much more in the years since then). Where I normally see this attitude crop up is instead in regards to how "poorly" people who call themselves Catholics are at practicing their faith. While every sect of Christianity has Easter/Christmas Christians, Catholics often seem to bifurcate into very devoted (mass three nights a week, never miss) and extremely undevoted, but still refer to themselves as Catholic because technically they were brought up that way. --- ...
