      - I do believe catholics consider everyone in a parish area to be members just not yet baptized -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 23, 10:56
      - From the Catholic/Anglican/Episcopalian viewpoint, it's more a case of "adhering to our precepts means not enabling other people." -- nm - ReluctantCynic Mar 23, 10:50
      - It differs among religions as to their intensity of converting others. Parts of the big two are very aggressive in saying yeah, it applies to all. -- nm - crash davis Mar 23, 10:45
      - i think they do - if they think an action is wrong, they certainly believe it's wrong for everyone. -- nm - Andie Mar 23, 10:43
