Sadly we still consider anyone baptized in the Catholic faith is considered Catholic. You have been told this before. This includes the "ex's", lapsed, "bad", schismatic, etc...

And as You have been told ex-communication does not stop someone from being Catholic, it prohibits them from receiving the sacraments until they have repented of their sin, confessed and received absolution.

Well that explains the ‘being Catholic’ angle. But what about being in Spiritaul Church of God’s family under Christ’s blood, indwelt by His Holy Spirit?
