We agree on that, started with CHRIST which "Pastor Bob" teaches.
So here's the deal. If you don't baptize infants, you're neither Protestant, Orthodox, or Catholic. You are something new with no real claims to the historic church.

Early church and any church for that matter should be Elder and deacon led, not some pope.

Foolish things like papal infallibility, Marian dogmas, purgatory, indulgences, are still happening today.

To sum it up nicely.

The early church in Acts and the first few centuries was decentralized, elder-led, met in homes, and didn’t hold many doctrines that Rome later defined (papacy, Marian dogmas, purgatory, indulgences, etc.).

I bet your fiance loves talking to your close-minded arse about this over and over and over. Y'all will be so happy.

I can play both sides.
When the Catholic Church went with the College of Cardinals instead of the vote of Bishops for the election of the pope, then it ceased looking like the early church.

Roughly 10th century, but I'd have to dig up my powerpoint.

When the RCC mandated yearly confession at the Fourth Lateran Council, it ceased looking like the early church.
When the RCC forbade the laity from receiving the cup, it ceased looking like the early church.

When the papacy began acting like a monarchy, Rome ceased to look like the apostolic church (11th -14th century development). You're own Vatican admitted this: Full Study

Just admit, you don't belive becuase you keep sinning and you don't want to answer to anyone but yourself.

This is the most ridiculous comeback I've ever seen and makes zero sense to what I posted.

I live my life daily trying to glorify the Lord. Seeking Him. Repenting. Fighting the flesh and my sin.

My sole authority is the bible, not pope jimbo the 3rd or my pastor. You sound foolish.

Astute observation. Yes, I am. I'm just not Roman Catholic.
I am a reformed catholic, also known as a real Protestant. A dying breed indeed.

Not gonna lie, I feel sorry for your fiancé.

Pretty funny watching you trash her beliefs here. Marriage gonna work out really great being unequally yoked.

Ask her to attend some OCIA classes with you to learn about the Catholic Church. It’s very low pressure and I got much more out of it than I expected.

I'm not sure what this means, but fwiw I'd rather see your fiancee become Roman Catholic than stay non-denom.
The depth is not even comparable.

After reading this thread I think your finance may just be learning that you’re an a-hole.

The main reason for church/Mass is to receive the body and blood of Jesus Christ.
