Amen! And on this thread that speaks about why some Catholics leave the Catholic Church to join the "Protestant" ones, I believe that your statement is probably the best reason why the majority do it. There is a stirring in our souls - the result of the Holy Spirit - convicting us that there IS truth and it is NOT found where we are. I recognized it at sixteen years old and, all these years later, the more I learn, the more I am convinced that it was indeed the Spirit of God leading me out of a false, man-made religious system into the glorious Gospel of His grace. I have lived the truth that God is a rewarder of those that diligently seek him. Every day I thank him for loving me and saving me and leading me to THE truth. It is a promise He gives to ALL who search for Him with all their hearts - He WILL be found.
“Jesus is not in heaven being continually offered for sin as a perpetual sacrifice, He is seated at God’s right hand having FINISHED that work.
Last but not least,.....
Hebrews 10:18 Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin.”

The Holy Masss, the “everlasting sacrifice” is offered in Heaven. Scott Hahn a former Protestant minister said when he went to his first Mass...”this is the Book of Revelation!”
Read the footnotes for Hebrews 10:18. God the Holy Spirit
does not lead every person into their own interpretation
of Scripture. If that were true, you would have multiple
beliefs and churches...ecclesiastical communities, yes?
Hebrews 10:18
Now where there is a remission of these, there is no more an oblation for sin.
[18] There is no more an oblation for sin: Where there is a full remission of sins, as in baptism, there is no more occasion for a sin offering to be made for such sins already remitted; and as for sins committed afterwards, they can only be remitted in virtue of the one oblation of Christ’s death.
