Pagan is only one category of unbeliever. There are also:
1. Heretics (bad Catholics and all Protestants)
2. Schismatics (the Eastern Orthodox and splinter groups)
3. Infidels (Muslims and anyone else who acknowledges the Abrahamic God but denies Christ)
4. Jews (for having been God's chosen people and having denied the Messiah), see #3
5. Heathens ("spiritual but not religious")
6. Atheists

- 52-6F-62 5y agoI'm just pulling the usage from the Catholic Encylopedia, via Catholic Answers so that I can't be accused of misconstruing anything: https://www.catholic.com/encyclopedia/paganism https://www.catholic.com/encyclopedia/paganism
- slumdev 5y agoThat's a reasonable source. My list was what I could recall from the Baltimore Catechism. I went to find a link, and it looks like I missed a few. Q 1170: http://www.baltimore-catechism.com/lesson30.htm http://www.baltimore-catechism.com/lesson30.htm
- iammisc 5y agoI think you're hierarchy is fine, but keep in mind the Baltimore catechism is not an 'official' church document issued by Rome. As something issued by all bishops in the USA, it did at one time have official status in dioceses within the United States. But it's not a place to cite 'official' Catholic teaching, because it's not a universal Church document the way a church council, a vatican statement, or the writings of one of the church doctors would be. It's best to cite a source that the Baltimore Catechism would have used as the authoritative source.
