I see it differently. Catholics do believe Jesus is their Lord and Savior. Even though a denomination may misinterpret some of God's word, it doesn't mean they're damned to hell. The important thing is Jesus. I don't limit how God can use religion to reach people. We all start out as spiritual babies. God can still work through the different denominations that appeal to the baby Christian. I trust the Holy Spirit reveals the truth in time as he did for me.
Amen sister! I grew up Catholic although out of it now for close to 50 years. I would never deny the good things I learned while a young Catholic from some people who loved God. It was as a Catholic that I first recognized and acknowledged God. The key is that we must continue to grow from a 'milk' diet to a 'meat' diet. If we are stifled in the place we are, God may require us to come out of that place, but that is God's business until He talks to our hearts making it our business as well.
I am the way, the truth and the life, no man cometh unto the Father but by Me
John 14:6
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Acts 4:12
Talk Jesus is not about discussing the 'so called' good points of false religions including catholicism
Catholicism is false, deceptive, and an anti Christian religion.
This does not mean that a person who is catholic cannot ever be saved.
But until they turn to Jesus as their Lord and Saviour they are very misled and in a very non-Christian religion
Chad has supplied some very useful articles on catholicism
