If you read the scriptures carefully, yes I believe that's what it says. There are Catholics who will be part of the Bride and some who are will be following the Antichrist because they are not really saved. They are tares. They look like the real thing..the real enchilada..the real believers. Btw, I believe the False Prophet is going to come out of the RCC... or maybe the LSM ?
Consider
Matthew 7:21-23
Not every one that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Thy name? and in Thy name have cast out devils? and in Thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
In whose name are devils and demons cast out? Why do you suppose God will say "Depart from me you that work Iniquity. I never knew you." ?
There will be people from Lee's ministry, from the RCC, from the Word of Faith, from the Baptists, Pentecostals, and all kinds of so called Christian groups who are workers of iniquity but I don't know who they are nor do I go around wondering who is a wheat and who is a tare. Only God knows.

Or, are you espousing the view that Lee had which defines groups by their general belief and expression - or at least their own view of their expression?

Roger,
I'm not sure I quite understand the question but I don't espouse Lee's views, that is the way he explained the scriptures and I certainly do not agree with some of his teachings. But he did teach us some things that will be forever in my DNA.
For example, it was under Lee's ministry I /we learned to call upon the Name of the Lord Jesus. It is scriptural. And IN HIS NAME IS the Fullness of GOD.
So when I prayerfully consider
Colossians 2:6Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, (vs9) For in Him all the fullness of the Deity dwells in bodily form and ( 2 Corinthians 5:19).
For it was the Father's good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him, saying the Name of Jesus with a pure heart means soooo much more than the repetitious jargon of my days in the LC. When I hear the LSMrs call on the Name of Jesus, I CRINGE because it has become vain repetition. Yet it was in the LC I learned to call on the Precious, Beloved, Awesome Name of JESUS. So be it. I learned to pray in vain mind you, the 'Our Father' in the RCC. So what? It is scriptural. However, when I do pray the 'Our Father', I pray it with a true Heart in Full assurance of Faith, not in a vain, religious way.
