Disclaimer: There is no such thing as a baptised Catholic becoming anything but Catholic. Ever. It's simply not possible.
You can call yourself a Baptist or a Jew or a Voodoo practitioner or whatever you wsih, but you will DIE a Catholic.
I'm so happy I fled - FLED - your cult!
I will die a Christian, who accepted the fact that without the sacrifice of my Lord Jesus, for payment of my sin, I would be going to hell.
I was not born a Catholic.
I was baptized into the Catholic church as an infant and then took the steps as a young person.
Having never, ever, heard about why Jesus died for me.
The mere act of following a faith’s protocol without true knowledge will not enable one to gain the Forgiveness one needs.
I truly do not know where the Lord God stands with the formal protocols of a church. Does He reject out of hand your faith simply because you know belong to a church which leaders and church administrators, almost as a whole, rejects Christ and the need for the gift of Salvation?
That is so far above my brain and heart. I hurt for those who believe that simply *doing* acts will get them to Heaven. I do know there are those in the Catholic Church who do not believe Jesus was even the Son of the Lord God. Yet, that said, I also, in my heart accept that there are Christians within the Catholic Church. I am simply to simple minded to understand how.
What I do know is the Bible instructed me to confess my sins, to confess my acceptance of the Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. The walk I have with Jesus now.... I trip, and I fall, and I behave badly....and yet, He is still there, for me.
I die as a Christian, paid for by the blood of the Redeemer.
Amen.
I am, AAABEST, grateful you spent your time, which once spent cannot be returned, to read my comment and respond to it.
