@LeeWoofenden Especially on some sites (this one not too bad, but I can see it heading this way) they get hung up on certain words or phrases in a question, then vtc. Instead, they should look past that and see a viable question, then edit if necessary or just ignore the phrase/word. It's not as bad as it was, but on this site "truth" and similar words used to be a hot one, especially when we were working through defining a "truth question".
I see a similar pedantism used to attack perfectly good answers.
Those engaging in this fixate on a single sentence or phrase (sometimes even a word) in a good answer which sometimes leads to deletion. Naturally, I think it shouldn't. We have voting power. Let that rule in these cases.
Which kind of leads into the "deletion vs. inclusion" debate. We have comments and votes to show when answers might be wrong or even bad, but the question of "when to delete" is a difficult one. @Nathaniel asked such a question already, which I liked, but I feel it's too centered on one single thing that can get an answer deleted. I think it should be more generic.
I guess I would ask "Do you favor deletion or inclusion most times?"
But like I said, it's not too bad on this site, but I can see it getting bad. Certainly, other sites I browse have it pretty bad, and it's very frustrating.
@Mr.Bultitude Protestants need to be mostly Catholic in their theology, especially in their Christology and soteriology. Their defining difference needs to be in their total rejection of the Papacy as head of the church. Save a few, even rejection of any central, Earthly authority (i.e. Church of England). By convention, total rejection of any saint veneration is also very Protestant.
But if "protestants" start changing their theology such that the nature of Christ or salvation changes so as to be called outright heresy by the Catholics, then I personally view them as something else.
One frequent Protestant quibble regarding Catholic soteriology would be the requirements of the sacraments of baptism, confession, and Eucharist. Protestants for the most part still practice these, just differently, almost always rejecting any conference of grace.
However, Catholics, for the most part, don't seem too bothered as long as they are close enough, and call them "brothers in Christ", but naturally would rather they be Catholic and "do it right".
All this to say: Oneness Pentecostals, Unitarians, etc. are not Protestant in my opinion.
They are too far removed from the mother church (Catholicism) to be considered an immediate daughter (i.e. Protestantism).
