Right, which is probably part of why most Evangelicals think Catholics aren't Christian.

After I finished my BA in English, I considered going for a MA in Catholic Studies because it offered an opportunity to study Philosophy, Theology, and Literature in a way that was fascinating to me, but by that time my faith had withered and died.

Literalists do more than anyone else to drive people away from Christianity.

Someone who thinks most Christians are not Christians (even more so historically) and their own traditions and scriptures were passed on to them by people who are not Christians are rather undermining their own claim to be Christians.

At least they are honest about their beliefs, as odd as they are.
