I think, Daniel, you'll be back. Anyone who reads the holy Scripture and seeks the truth will become Catholic if God gives him enough time.
Besides the other imaginative things you have exampled Scripture supporting, or even Rome teaching, this idea is further testimony of Catholics seeing all things leading to Rome. But such cultic devotion, and i which is what i sincerely see, further drives one away who left due to desire to follow the Christ or Scripture, and according to its Truth, not institutional security which leads to defending a church as a god.
