True (?) Christianity sees the only way to God as being through Jesus, not through a person's deeds and most certainly not through the Pope. No extra stuff needed except your repentant faith etc. Just the Bible. If it's not in the Bible, don't worry about it. If it's not faith, it's not necessary for salvation. And so on.melanieeeee. said:catholics are right because we are the church. anglicans and protestants really branched off us.
Leaving aside the historical meanings indicated under (b) and (c) above, the Oxford English Dictionary thus associates present-day Catholicism with:
<DL><DD>any church (as the Anglican) claiming continuity with the church before separation into Greek or Eastern and Latin or Western". Churches that make this claim of continuity include not only those of the Anglican Communion, but, among others, the Roman Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox Church, Oriental Orthodoxy, and the Assyrian Church of the East. The claim of continuity may be based on Apostolic Succession, especially in conjunction with adherence to the Nicene Creed. Some interpret Catholicism as adherence to the traditional beliefs that Protestant Reformers denied (see, for example, the Oxford Movement).</DD></DL>Catholics maintain that the "one, holy, catholic and apostolic church" founded by Jesus subsists fully in the Roman Catholic Church, but also acknowledges other Christian churches and communities<SUP class=reference id=cite_ref-LumenGentium_161-0>[162]</SUP><SUP class=reference id=cite_ref-162>[163]</SUP> and works towards reconciliation among all Christians.

So again I'll ask you why you think Catholicism is the only true faith. How do you know that what the Catholic faith teaches is better than the kind of Christianity I just described? Just curious.
