Catholic Church means the whole of the visible church that confesses Christ. It is generally understood to include everyone who accepts the Apostle's Creed, the Nicene Creed, and the definitions of Chalcedon. Exact definitions may vary though. When the church fathers talk about the Catholic Church they are generally drawing a distinction from the heretics of their own day, like the Arians, the Manicheans, the Donatists, etc.When speaking of universal or catholic church and invisible church. It seems that they are synonyms. But I understand that it is not. So what do these two words have in common? And what are each of these words emphasizing?
I'm not aware of any actual difference between "universal church" and "invisible church".
