In response to Lauren on Dania's post - found here
Hmm... I am not sure that Jesus would view anyone as a true Catholic, because I don't think he would make that distinction between Christians. He seems not to make judgement claims, he simply openly accepts everybody; so there is no sense in calling someone a "good (enter specific denomination of specific religion here)." I think Jesus would probably recognize her as a 'good and highly motivated person.' Additionally, Jesus didn't know anything about the Catholics as he was a good practicing Jew, and didn't seek to start Catholicism. Even if he did know about the Catholics, I do not think that Jesus would find most of the Catechism, or the actions of the church (given the power structure of the ROMAN Catholic church) agreeable, though he would probably still accept them. I don't know, it seems a bit unjustified to suggest that Jesus would qualify someone's good actions like that.
