Annie should do more reading of actual Church teaching vs what her interpretation is of what some priest may or may not have said or may or may not have meant.

Her point is almost straight out of Pope Piux XI's Syllabus of Errors.

"Protestantism is nothing more than another form of the same true Christian religion, in which form it is given to please God equally as in the Catholic Church. which references -- Encyclical "Noscitis," Dec. 8, 1849."

Note to the unread.   These points are written as assertions, which the pope lists as erroneous.

It's a sobering and eye opening exericse to read these errors and then read these comment forums, realizing that the brilliant pope summarized these errors in 1864!!
