[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you've truly trusted in Jesus Christ as your savior, why not just call yourself a Christian?[/quote]

I do, even as a Catholic, because Catholics as well as Protestants are Christians.[/quote]
It wasn't my point to suggest otherwise. Just wonder why you need a denominational identity. [/quote]

Some of us prefer a denominational identity because we subscribe to the particular creed or practices that a given denomination offers.

Moreover, the Catholic Church self-identifies as the Only True Church, the one founded by Jesus.  From a Catholic point of view, other Christian churches are simply wrong or at best, misguided.*  The RCC rejects the validity of Protestant churches.  Further, it believes that the True Presence of Christ is found only in the Eucharist which has undergone transubstantiation by a Roman Catholic priest.

If you as a Catholic accept these Catholic teachings, then a nonCatholic denomination will not work for you.

[i]*The RCC makes certain exceptions here including for e.g. the Eastern Orthodox Church.[/i][/quote]
