| | | Online confessions/catechisms?
I debate Roman Catholics on a fairly regular basis, and I find that all too often that, while I frequently make citations from Trent, Florence, papal bulls, Vatican I & II, etc., most Catholics understanding of Protestantism seems to come from "Protestant X told me this..." None of them seem to have heard of any of the Confessions, Catechisms, theologians, etc., that form the basis of our history. Now, some of them do seem to show interest, so I'm wondering if anyone can point me to any of the standard Protestant confessions, online if possible. For starters, I found the LBCF here. I'm certain that the Westminster should be online...anything else? Any orthodox expressions of faith from various denominations would do.

Actually, doing another Google search seemed to yield some better results than the first time I tried it: Creeds of Christendom

| | HERE is a site that I use. It has a number of Confessions and such. The WCF that they use is the original 1647.

You can try this: Historic Church Documents at Reformed.org
if you want to argue from a less general evangelical perspective. You know in our days, evangelical can include everyone from RC Sproul to Benny Hinn, scary.
Edited: oops, late by a min. :P

I started a thread with links to good Reformed catechisms here. And I have provided links to a number of Reformed confessional/catechetical resources here. There is also A Puritans Mind (keep in mind the issues concerning WCF 23.3 noted here and the French/Second Helvetic Confessions as noted here).
