*( NOTE: use of the word ‘catholic’ here does not refer to a particular denomination. It simply means ‘universal’. In this creed it refers to the fact that in God’s eyes all who affirm what is stated in this creed belong to one Christian church, regardless of race, denomination or sect. Webster's Dictionary defines catholic as" Of the Christian church as a whole; specif., of the ancient, undivided Christian church ". This is our usage and meaning here.)
