From the OP:

In the same way we have learned to understand and respect cultural diversity,
we should learn to understand and respect doctrinal diversity.

Can Catholics and Protestants respect one another despite our doctrinal differences? (yes)
What about Baptists and Pentecostals? (yes) You name it. How far apart can we get?

Build bridges, not walls.

yes they can but certain doctrines will not hold water

Protestants have doctrines that Catholics find unbiblical, or outside Tradition as well.
To accept each other, we must allow others to maintain their beliefs.

Is there more benefit in rejecting others based on doctrinal differences,
or accepting them as fellow Christians?

Would go so far as to reject others based on doctrinal differences?
