Yes. I've heard that before. I've heard Protestants who will say with a straight face and without stuttering that Catholics are not Christian. And I know of Wahibis who will say with a straight face and without stuttering that there are no sects in Islam and that Shia, or even traditional Sunni Muslims are not Muslim. It isn't surprising to me anymore that people can look at the exact same text and come up with two totally different interpretations. I've looked more at Catholicism in the past few years to hear there side of things and as someone who was raised Protestant it is interesting to see how much of Catholic doctrine actually comes out of the Bible. "Everyone" thinks their beliefs are obvious. "Just read the book and you will see". [2.113] And the Jews say: The Christians do not follow anything (good) and the Christians say: The Jews do not follow anything (good) while they recite the (same) Book. Even thus say those who have no knowledge, like to what they say; so Allah shall judge between them on the day of resurrection in what they differ.
