Is Catholicism Christian?
I already made debate like this, but people keep giving the same answer even when they have been disproved, so I'm creating this again.
I've been a Christian for some time now, and I grew up around Catholics for much of my life, but what I've noticed, studied, and researched is that Catholics are not Christian for they perform many wrong forms of worship, I want some input on whether its Christian or not, and please if you are disproved don't argue the same point

You have said in the previous debate that catholic is not a true christian religion because it is a denomination and does not worship as described exactly in the bible. As for the denominations, so long as there is one denomination of a relgion, every way to worship in that religion is a denomination as well. Even if you are really practicing the original form of Christianity, it is still a denomination. As for the worship methods, times change. I do not believe many people slaughter lambs anymore. You would also be required to eat kosher, and Sabbath would be on Saturday. Just because some technical aspects of religious worship have changes doesn't mean that Catholicism has lost the right to be called a christian religion, because it is by definition a christian religion(a abhamic, monotheistic religon that centers around the teachings of Jesus Christ) Side: Yes it is

I just thought of a good metaphor for denominations. Denominations are to religion as dialects are to languages. I am from South Carolina, so i have a bit of a southern ascent in my English. That does not mean a person England can walk up to me and say i am not speaking English because i am not speaking in the original victorican dialect. They are both legit forms of English, just like Catholicism (and the other denominations) are legit forms of Christiantiy Side: Yes it is

You have yet to give us any proof that you are not Christian if you worship slightly different then what the bible says in fact you have not even posted a single bible verse saying correct forms of worship and that you are not a Christian if you follow them perfectly. Side: Yes it is
