In 30 years as a born again christian, I have never had fellowship with a Catholic.I've never understood the animosity between evangelical Protestants and the Catholic church. We're all Christians, what we have in common is far more important than our differences. When I was young, worshipping with the family in a small Methodist church, we got a new pastor who's first sermon was very negative about the RCC. After the worship service a couple of older members had a talk with him, and we never again heard that kind of message.
But, we Protestants can't even manage to tolerate each other at times. We have a local, very big, congregation of evangelical non-denominational Christians who refuse to even share communion or other worship with other churches. In the Methodist church we have open communion, ANY sincere man or woman who wants to have that relationship with Christ is welcome to share in our communion sacrament. When Christ calls people to His table, we dare not, as a church, stand between Him and them.
