Hi Joy,
You are absolutely correct. All who have, by the grace of God, through faith in Jesus Christ -- believed and received His "paid in full" free gift of eternal salvation -- are Christian brothers and sisters, joint heirs with Jesus Christ -- and eternal members of the Family of God. With this I could not agree more.
However, VP did ask me, "Ok. Mr Gray, I am truly curious how you explain this. Directly from the Word of God. How do you reason out of the Eucharist?"
I responded with the best answer I could give -- the testimony of a man I personally know who, after an extensive Roman Catholic education, after being Director of Roman Catholic Schools and Seminaries for ten years -- left Roman Catholicism because he could no longer teach what he himself did not believe. This man, Dr. Anthony Pezzotta, is far better qualified to answer VP's question than me. So, I gave VP the answer to his question which Dr. Pezzotta has written.
Did I expect VP to accept Dr. Pezzotta's qualification and answer? No. But, I answered VP to the best of my ability.
God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,
Bill
