      Catholicism is derived from one of the few original Christian traditions that survived.

      And the Greek Orthodox church has as much claim to that lineage.

      One could argue that the Nestorians, the Copts and/or the Ethiopian church might be closer to the original.

        Which is why I said “some would argue”. I’m not trying to decide who is following Christ the best. Just saying, it’s absurd to not include them in the term Christians, which I see people from the US do all the time (so I’m assuming it’s a US thing).
