Though the doctrine of the papacy is an error, Protestants ought not to write off "papists" as unchristian people. It's one thing to consider a fellow Christian to be mistaken or misled about a particular doctrine; it's an entirely different matter to call someone an apostate over a particular doctrine. The bitter hostility that some Protestants have demonstrated to followers of the Pope in the past is completely shameful and would no modern day Protestants would follow their uncharitable example! Won't heaven be populated by plenty of people who followed the Pope, as well as by plenty of people who never paid any attention to him? Until very recent times, Catholics have written off Christians that didn't follow the Pope's authority as unchristian. Doesn't
this, however, lay a burden upon Christians' backs that is nowhere called for in Scripture? It was this dogmatic insistence that the Pope be followed at
all costs that led the Lutherans to label the papacy as the antichrist itself. "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved,"
Paul said. It's shameful to add to the pure and simple gospel an additional requirement of submitting to a particular bishop. This is legalism of the worst
sort, adding a salvific requirement that is nowhere mandated in Scripture.
More. . . I would rather be honestly blunt than diplomatically untruthful.

It seems logically impossible to see how both councils and both popes could've been inspired by God since they arrived at such radically different conclusions. It's not that Protestants consider each individual Pope as being himself a bad man. In disbelieving in an infallible papacy, Protestants aren't opposing any particular man (the actual bishop of Rome at any given time may, himself, be a good man), but rather opposing the idea of an infallible papacy itself.
