If American newspapers talk of "Christian schools" they usually mean evangelical fundamentalist schools. You may even read questions like these: "Do Christian schools also accept Catholic children?"

Maybe you may even read: "Do Catholic schools also accept Christian students?"

All this is too absurd for words.

When I hear or read the term "Christian" meaning only "evangelical fundamentalist" - then it makes me sick.

Here is a good article on that topic:

Catholics worship Mary. Here’s the truth: Catholics deeply respect Mary, but we worship only God. We ask her to pray for us, and we honor her because through her consent to God’s will, Jesus came into the world. In the Bible Mary said, “All generations will call me blessed.” Catholics fulfill her prophecy by venerating and loving her—and as St. Bernard reminds us, “We can never love her more than Jesus did.”

Catholics worship statues. The fact is that Catholics have statues to remind us of the saints, but we certainly don’t worship statues or invest them with any spiritual powers. Statues call to mind the people we love, just as cherished family photos do. And there’s clearly a huge difference between glancing fondly at a photo of grandma—and worshipping it.

It seems the Evangelicals do a great job propaganda-wise.
They have convinced most people in the USA that they are the only Christians worthy of that name.
They are so successful that even many American Catholics fall for that idea and think that Catholics are no Christians.

Well, then it's the fault of those Catholics if they believe that.

This use of the term "Christian" is a clear mis-use

I have read questions like this on US-American forums:
"Do Christian schools also accept Catholics?"
And the answer was: "No, I don't think so ...."

What does this tell us?

My mother in law was a devout Catholic who thought Baptists were going to Hell.
I don’t know any Protestants who think that of Catholics.
