Yes it is and there's a reason for that. Fringe Protestant groups often operate in such a way that is similar to a cult in the serious sense of the word. And in my opinion the modern Catholic Church is the decrepit offspring of one of the most efficient cults in history, the medieval Catholic Church, which blows Scientology out of the water in terms of its ability to exercise control over its members. The CC today can by no means exercise the degree of control over its members that it used to, but it still has enough of the remnants of that power to manipulate its most invested believers. So essentially each side sees the other as potentially exhibiting the characteristics of false cults.
