In other words, I find that Catholic theology is very coherent & attractive. I'm more concerned with what the Magisterium will teach in the future. If one day they teach Mary as co-redemptrix, I don't think I can be Catholic. In Protestantism these kind of development is more controlled. And if a certain denomination turns liberal (like the mainline Protestants), there will always be a conservative option, although they cannot command the kind of catholicity that the Catholic church has.

@OneGodtheFather I hope you are not receiving communion at a Catholic church while espousing unitarian doctrines.

2) Who is a Christian: Christian self-understanding: relationship with God vs. denomination / concept / religion / theology, conversion, Christian and the collective (the Kingdom vs. body of Christ vs. the universal church vs. the local church), conscious vs. anonymous vs. cultural Christian, inclusivism vs. exclusivism vs. universalism, etc.

3) The role of Denomination: Denomination in relation to a Christian: orthodoxy vs. orthopraxy vs. orthopathy, denomination and the Bible / theology / creeds / confessions, comparative Christianity, mere vs. rigid Christianity, ecumenism, ecclesiology, historical development of denominations, etc.

This room is open for general discussion and for assistance in creating good question on C.SE related to the relationship between personal faith in Jesus Christ (a matter of the heart, will, and spirituality) as contrasted to a person's theology, philosophy, religion, Bible knowledge, and denomination (a matter of head knowledge).
