While the reverse may be true (the catholic church, or the "christian church" for that matter - whatever that may be - can consider all christian churches to be catholic as much as it pleases; don't reverse that logic, though, to assume that those christian churches consider themselves to be part of the catholic church).
If I ask the average Texan here, for example, if they are a member of a christian church, 90% will say "yes, absolutely!" Ask them, though, if they consider themselves - or their church - as being part of the catholic church, and whips will start a-cracking, Hemi's a-roaring, and Colts a-blazing...Quid erat demonstrandum.
