Straw Man Fallacy. In fact, it's both.

Yes... God's Word does command us to be part of local bodies of believers.
But as said... the main difference between Catholic and Protestant is that the one group think that Christ's church means belonging to their sect.
Scripture however indicates that His body, or His church consists of those He has redeemed.
Catholics have more faith in their church than they do in God.
Protestants have more faith in God than they do in their church.

Catholics have more confidence in the doctrinal authority of Christ's one historic Church than they do in the tens-of-thousands of entirely non-authoritative, recently-invented, man-made non-Catholic sects in existence today, with more being concocted every week. (See the OP above.)
That's all fine and dandy except for one small but ever so crucial little detail, doctrine doesn't save you. Only God, through His Son, can save a person from everlasting death.

The difference is pointing fingers at each other.

Correct belief certainly does. In any case, your tacit assertion that divinely-revealed truth has nothing to do with salvation or one's relationship to God is noted.
Now, do you have anything to offer that has anything whatsoever to do with the actual content of the OP?

No, you've been pretty well hoisted by your own petards.

I think Christian Forums are a Catholic site. They have groups for people like you

Most prots, all catholics and the other cults: Salvation ultimately requires some degree of religious effort on your part or you can't have it. Since no one knows how much work needs done, none can know for sure this side of death whether God will accept him or burn him. So...work, work, work. It's tough...no resting allowed...but the more work-minded people you can surround yourself with, the easier, more systematic and more preprogrammed for you the work becomes. Just trust them to keep telling you what God wants you to do (and don't forget to pay them your "tithes" to do it).

Depends on the protestant.

Feel free, then, to disprove it.
