Wow, you could not be any more wrong.

No true believer ever converts to a dogma or a creed or a man-made religion. He is converted by Christ and filled with the Holy Spirit, who then imparts wisdom and discernment.

As I said in a previous post, do you want Jesus so badly that you would leave everything behind were He to command you so. Or do you want the comfort of your dogma instead of the living Christ?

Very few choose the path of Christ alone, but for those who do the key to heaven is given. Nothing on this earth can compare.

Again your comment makes no sense to a Catholic. The Catholic Church provides the Living Christ every day through the Holy Mass (in fact, I'm getting ready to go right now:)). I sense a poetic-ness in your writings, though. Would this be correct? You might like portions of Fr. Mark's writings:
Prefer My company to every other companionship, the love of My Heart to the love of every other heart, and the sound of My voice in the silence of your soul to every other voice. Abide close to Me, seek Me before all else, put nothing whatsoever before My love for you and the love I have placed in your heart to love Me in return.
