If you are a baptized Catholic, you are still a Catholic.

No. That is not Biblical.

I am baptized by the Holy Spirit. Not an institution. Read the Book of Acts chapter 2.

I would also like you to view the 9 mins 31 seconds of my friend Dr. Ravi Zacharias.

How do you know that Christianity is the one true worldview?

Paul says that baptism “now saves you.” In baptism we are born again of “water and the spirit.”

It sounds like you were poorly catechized. Most of us born after 1960 were.

Spend some time at Catholic Answers. You won’t regret it.

If not now, you will eventually realize that Protestantism can’t reach a consensus on virtually any moral or theological issue.

The reason is because of Sola Scriptura, which isn’t taught in the Bible.

Christ’s Church is “the pillar and foundation of truth.” The Apostles and their successors have the power to bind and loose, meaning indisputable ecclesiastical authority. Look it up.

This is why Jesus said, “if he won’t listen to the church, treat him as a pagan or tax collector,” IOW, a non-Christian.
