A "pagan" is polytheistic, like, for example, the Greeks and Romans at the time of Christ.
Catholics/Orthodox are pagans because they worship a similar pantheon, but they have just renamed the gods and goddesses "Mary" and "the saints."
It's still the same idolatry.
Roman Catholics and Greek Orthodox are not real Christians, and they are going to Hell.
The previous generation of evangelical Christians knew this.
They are NOT trusting Christ for salvation. They are trusting their own WORKS and their apostate church to save them.
