comment Why are Independent Baptist Fundamentalists labelled Protestants?
@dongle26 "We believe it was heretical from the beginning of its foundation" sounds very much like a protesting statement to me. It's also in grave danger of being wrong, depending on your point of view [about when and how the Catholic Church was founded].

comment Are non-Catholics allowed to go to confession?
I would posit that 844.4 is not inconsistent with 959 or 204.1 or my answer. One would not approach a Catholic priest for confession without manifesting Catholic faith in respect of the sacrament.

I have a feeling that the Church of England (and thus the Anglican Communion in general) might have something to say about only Lutherans being Protestants.

comment When did the church in the city of Rome first try to impose a tradition on other churches?
I don't believe this is written from a neutral viewpoint and the obvious bias makes it unreliable as an answer. Quite apart from whether it's the answer to the asked question, and it doesn't appear to me that it is.

comment Do Catholic priests have to report child abuse confessed in secret?
@Ryan See Cann 984 §2 and 964 §3 (and 964 §1). However these are better raised in another question than comments. And I see there is one: What makes a confession sacramental?

comment Why does Judaism celebrate Sabbath on Saturday and most Christians celebrate Sabbath on Sunday?
@Flimzy Saturday comes from Saturn, which is the god Romans worshipped on that day of the week. Other languages do translate Sabbath though.

comment According to Reformed Theology, are Catholics Christians?
Citations would be useful, I think. For example, what are "erroneous statements about what it takes to be saved"?

comment According to Reformed Theology, are Catholics Christians?
@waxeagle I suppose it would be possible to go through the Westminster Confession and cross-reference the Catechism of the Catholic Church. I think that fails the scope test.

Is this really reasonably scoped? "If you can imagine an entire book that answers your question, you’re asking too much." And how do you classify "fundamental belief"?
