What if I am a humble supplicant waiting upon the Church to recognize me? What if I do believe in the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist? What if I don't worship the killers of Christ? What if I don't deny the successors of Peter? What if I do believe in the apostolical succession of bishops?
That's your mistake. The Church doesn't recognize people, it is the people who have to go to the Church much the same way they went to Jesus as the Church us his extension.
Read the Apostle's Creed for guidance on what you have to believe to be recognized as a Christian.
I believe the Apostles' Creed. I've gone to the Church and am waiting. Here I am going to you. Why don't you recognize me? Are you not the Church?
Incidentally, how do you know I haven't been training with other members of the Church and gotten the right hand of fellowship from them but don't want to play it up to see how other Church members will treat me without credentials?
Jesus came to seek out and save that which was lost, the lost sheep didn't "go to" him.
Who are you to test and judge people?
Who are you? Let your view of yourself be the judge of your view of me. Do I test or judge? Do you recognize me? How would you know I have not gone to the Church except by consulting the Church's records in my Christian name?
