....I went before the session (a group of men who are officers in the church) where they interviewed me to make sure I had a credible profession of faith in Jesus Christ. The following Sunday they put me before the congregation where I publicly professed my faith in Jesus Christ in the form of several membership vows. And that was it. I was a member!.... ....When asked the question "What must I do to be saved?", the response of Paul and Silas was "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved" (Acts 16:31), and that is still true today. What is important is to put your full trust in Jesus. If you have done that, if you have repented of your sin and trust in Jesus alone, you are welcomed into the fellowship of the OPC. There is no need to be re-baptized and there is no need to renounce your confirmation.

Hopefully you will stay in the one holy catholic church.
The Apostles Creed (portion):
I believe in the Holy Ghost, The Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints The forgiveness of sins, The resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.

The first thing any Catholic must do to join another Religion is to lose his Faith.
After that it’s easy.

Most people that quit the Catholic Church do so mainly because of issues below the belt.

Two forms of ID and a $250 deposit.

What does a Roman Catholic need to do to join the OPCGiven that there are only 20,000 OPC communicants in America, presumably all you need to do is show up on Sunday and introduce yourself to the elders.
I'm sure they'd love to have you.
Another good bet is to move to the Northeast if you don't live there already - that's the area of the country where you have the best shot of living within driving distance of a congregation.

**What would a baptized and confirmed Roman Catholic need to do in order to join the Orthodox Presbyterian Church?**
They actually are still a Catholic. Just not a practicing one.
We pray these people back into the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church!

Yeah. I had a stint where as a Catholic I joined the Presbyterians. I left when the gay and lesbian minister and assistant started changing the Word of the Bible at Church services to fit into their PC gender world view. Then the preaching about global warming and let's just say it didn't take me long to go back to the Catholic faith and the Catholic Church. Thank you Jesus!
Besides. Whenever I prayed about where God would best have me he gave me a MULTITUDE of signs that He wanted me to worship in the Catholic tradition and faith, not to speak of the church. Thank you Lord for your guidance!

It’s catholic, as in universal, not Catholic, as in a denomination.

About 75% of our church are former Catholics.

The Catholic Church is not a denomination. Protestants have denominations.

The lack of communion at each service bothered me immensely. That right there was placing too much emphasis on an earthly church and not the Lord and His presence.
To each his own worship, but I hAve found returning to Catholicism the most wonderful gift on my adult life.

After realizing how different the teachings of the RCC are from Scripture,
Exactly. It wasn't until I was out of the RCC - did I learn how truly off they were. To say anyone is being obedient to Jesus while 'in' the RCC, is untrue. One can't serve two masters.
God's Word vs. man-made teachings.
