You have been deceived, that the Catholic Church is the one true church. Believers do not hate Roman Catholics, just hate the unbiblical doctrines of Grace+ works and other non scriptural things like popes. Jesus said to him. "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me". John 14:6. Jesus does not say a pope, is the way to eternal life.
I'm no fan of the pope, no one i know thinks the pope is the way to eternal life but Catholism is the one faith with direct continuity with Jesus Christ.
The above comment has been my average experience as someone who is converting. I don’t think most Protestants understand the Catholic Church at all. I hear blatant lies about it at worst and at best understandings.
He says “unbiblical” but the Catholic Church put together the canon of the Bible at the council of Rome in 382 and affirmed it at Hippo in 393 and Carthage in 397. So the people who put the Bible together don’t understand it? And the ironic part about it is that James 2:26 literally says Faith without works is dead. It’s why Luther wanted to pull the book out.
I get told I don’t read the Bible yet I can defend the sacraments with scripture and there is no scripture for Sola Scriptura.
I don’t mind respectful debate and conversations but the blatant lies are frustrating.

We don’t worship the Pope if that is what you are implying.
