I question it because I really don't see anyone converting anyone on a board like ATS, so I find it curious that it becomes such a heated debate every time I see it.
There are so many denominations at this point saying what your saying regarding the truth about salvation and the Catholic Church (but I don't think they all are quite saying the same thing either). Would you mind clarifying for me exactly what you perceive to be the truth concerning salvation, what you perceive the Catholic teaching to err on regarding this matter and what denomination teaches this?

As far as someone being converted on ATS, I agree that we may not see it, but that doesn't mean it's not happening. This is an excellant way to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Some missionaries travel halfway around the world to reach others, I think it's simply amazing that having a computer and the internet can be used to speak to people all over the world.

Thank you for explaining your point of reference so plainly. I get it. To tell you the truth, your belief system sounds so much easier than being a Catholic,

Bashing the past and wanting some sort of change in the present are two different things. That is my opinion on the matter.
I like your nick by the way. Did you come up with that yourself or did you get it from somewhere? A book perhaps?

Thank you for acknowledging this place is literally crawling with proselytizing evangelicals, no matter how much they complain this site is supposedly anti-Christian.
Everyone is just immune to their own brand of stink.

And that is not an example of bashing which the author is alledging?
I agree. It is not an example of bashing to which the author is alledging.
I actually believe the Fox Show Relentless is watching is When Protestants Attack!
But thank you for both agreeing and adding some additional weight to the witness of my actual point on this brim filled pool of hyper sensitive, paranoid religious types, all swearing everyone is on ATS is out to get them.

With that said, I do understand that there are some people that are so threatened by something that they lash out in a blind rage, but (in the same respect) there are also those that are so threatened by having their beliefs questioned that every miniscule difference of opinion becomes an excuse to scream persecution. If one's beliefs are solid, then why should one become so emotional about a difference of opinion?

The constant reminders of the past mistakes of the RCC is one thing, and I actually don't repsond to that most of the time. This thread was prompted by the threads where the mere mention of the word Catholic results in a barage of disertations (lengthy and bibical quotes included) as to where the RCC errs in matters of doctrine and faith. There's a small but very mouthy bunch out there who just continue to do this to threads and it's annoying. They also turn vicious very fast when a Catholic responds with any explanation of the faith to correct their misinterpretation their disertations are based on. Personally I thing they are trolls with an agenda who go unnoticed since their agenda is just Catholic bashing.
