Have you seen Baptist’s try and mould the Paulicians into Baptists, saying that: “We only know of the Paulicians through Catholic/Byzantine writing, which means they have been embellished and distorted from what they were: Genuine God fearing, faith in the Christ and the gospel, people.”
Like Oof it makes you cringe.
Even if it were embellished, there's no evidence that they were secret Baptists or whatever.
Waldensians, from what I know of them, are the only heretical sect that comes anywhere close.
Of course there's no evidence. That doesn't stop them making it up.
