BD, pray for discernment and listen carefully. The Holy Spirit approaches quietly, in a humble fashion. Try praying silently and continually to yourself “Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.” You’ll be fine.

Thank you. That is the best suggestion I have heard in my search.

Kolokotronis, as you see, beachdweller, is right on the money.
In any event, whichever you decide, please pray fervently "that we all may be one."
Through the Jesus Prayer, invocation of the Most Holy Name (Catholics have an ickier jargon than the Orthodox -- it comes of being translated from Latin through French by English speakers with Victorian sensibilities), the Holy Spirit will provide you a shield and a guide.
It's funny, we think prayer rises from us to God, but really the most important part is what's going the other way.

(I would not believe in the Gospel, if the authority of the Catholic Church did not move me to do so.)
