Christianity is defined by intimate, personal relationship with Jesus Christ.   That relationship comes about as a result of
   ➛ repentance for rebellion and error
   ➛ recognizing that Jesus is Mighty God
   ➛ believing that Jesus is the Truth about God
   ➛ receiving the Words of Christ into one's heart
   ➛ being filled with the Holy Spirit of Christ Jesus
   ➛ fellowshipping with Christ
   ➛ being a disciple of Christ
   ➛ teaching others to be disciples of Christ

Christianity has nothing at all to do with ritual which is nothing more than gross religion.   

Regardless of what organization one is a member of or what building one attends or what teacher one follows, intimate personal relationship with Christ Jesus is the only way to be saved.   

The Catholic hierarchy is rotten and has always been rotten because it sought to replace personal relationship with ritual and authority and dogma.
