I unalterably believe the teachings that were in effect when I was born that means probably 99.5% of the teachings in the current Magisterium.
Not aware of any Catholic teaching that allows someone the option to discount any teachings promulgated since they were born. How do you choose which ones to believe? The authority of Pope Steve86? Sounds quite Protestant.

You essentially are saying that a Catholic who, in 1954, believed all the extant teachings of the Church, was not Catholic but protestant. Ridiculous. You are also implying that a Catholic who dies in 2014 is not a Catholic because he did not believe new teachings of the Church issued in 2015. Ridiculous.
