This is not correct.

From Catholic Answers:

Question:​

Who is a Child of God?

Answer:​

In a strict sense, any baptized Christian is a child of God and thus a member of his Church (Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) 1265-71, 1997). For through baptism we become “partakers of the divine nature” (2 Pet. 1:4). The baptized are members of “a chosen race . . . God’s own people” (1 Pet.2:9; cf. 1 Cor. 12:12ff.; Rom. 12:4-5). And thus each believer has a guardian angel (CCC 336; cf. Mt. 18:10).
In a wider sense, because everyone is made in God’s image and likeness (cf. Gen.1:27-28) and God desires that all human beings be saved (2 Pet. 3:9; Jn. 3:16-17), all human persons can be said to be children of God. And yet we can’t fall into religious indifferentism.'

So the Priest who wouldn't let her participate in the Passover observance was wrong to do that, right? For he did not qualify her status as a child of God this way.

I don't hate it as you do Catholicism.

If you think Calvinist doctrine is fundamentally evil and not just wrong or misguided you should hate it. That would be okay. Just don't hate Calvinists themselves, just as I do not hate Catholics themselves.

Jesus didn't know His church would be splintered into hundreds of denominations.

The Catholic church that likes to tout it's singularity of doctrine, and uses that to claim it's the one true church, is split into about 12 divisions if I heard correctly.

You and I know both know that the Catholic church says if a person does not submit to the rituals that the Catholic church says makes a person a child of God then they are not a child of God.

1. That is not what you claimed. You seem to have changed your position.

2. Provide the evidence for your claim (both of them).

No, it's okay to hate bad things:

13To fear the LORD is to hate evil; I hate arrogant pride, evil conduct, and perverse speech.

In fact, this hatred is the beginning of wisdom.

Except that the CC is not bad or evil.
Maybe some persons in it are, but this is true of all denominations.

If you are going to make these sort of allegation about the Catholic Chutch then provide the evidence.

It's DOCTRINES are. Not necessarily every person who is Catholic.

The works gospel is damnable. It's not just another flavor of Christianity.

Okay. Let's assume the OP is a baptized Christian. Why can't she take Catholic communion???? Apparently, the Priest didn't even bother to qualify her as a child of God according to what Nib posted. If so, that means he was wrong, right?

If you do not hate Catholics themselves then why do make false claims about them (see below)?

Start another thread as to why a works gospel is damnable.

And which doctrines you think are evil.
Do it.

She is not a Catholic.

Oh stop with this child of God stuff.

Did you ever wonder WHY he refused her?
You don't even ask.
You're just happy to take advantage of the situation the OP so sweetly presented.
