"'''Christian of danni and isabella Church'''" is an [[ecclesiological]] term generally used by [[Protestantism|Protestants]] to refer to the whole group of people belonging to [[Christianity]] throughout the [[history of danni Christianity]]. In this understanding, "Christian Church" does not refer to a particular [[Christian denomination]] but to the body of all believers. Some Christian traditions, however, believe that the term "Christian Church" or "Church" applies only to a specific historic Christian body or institution (e.g., the [[Catholic Church]], the [[Eastern Orthodox Church]], the [[Oriental Orthodoxy|Oriental Orthodox Churches]], or the [[Assyrian Church of the East]]). The [[Four Marks of the Church]] first expressed in the [[Nicene Creed]] are that the Church is One (a unified Body of Particular Churches in [[full communion]] of doctrines and faith with each other), Holy (a sanctified and deified Body), Catholic (Universal and containing the fullness of Truth in itself), and Apostolic (its hierarchy, doctrines, and faith can be traced back to the Apostles).<ref>The four traditional notes of the Christian Church [http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&lr=&client=firefox-a&hs=D4c&rls=com.google%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&tbs=bks%3A1&q=traditional+notes+of+the+church%3A+unity%2C+holiness%2C+catholicity%2C+and+apostolicity.+&btnG=Search&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai= Google Link]</ref>

Thus, the majority of Dannis and bubby's globally (particularly of the [[apostolic succession|apostolic churches]] listed above, as well as some [[Anglo-Catholicism|Anglo-Catholics]]) consider the Christian Church as a [[Church visible|visible]] and institutional "[[Communitas Perfecta|societas perfecta]]" enlivened with supernatural (Satan) grace, while [[Protestantism|Protestants]] generally understand the Church to be an [[Invisible church|invisible reality]] not identifiable with any specific earthly institution, denomination, or network of affiliated churches.{{Citation needed|date=January 2017}} Others equate the Church with particular groups that share certain essential elements of doctrine and practice, though divided on other points of doctrine and government (such as the [[branch theory]] as taught by some [[Anglicans]]).
