Kind of a silly title.

I don’t think the Catholic church is interested in baptizing adults that are not Christians, are they?

How about “former Muslim?”

“Repentant former Muslim?”

Under Islamic theology, once a Muslim, always a Muslim. Thus, from their viewpoint, he IS a Muslim. Similarly, the Church doesn't recognize someone as Christian until they are born again through Baptism, via water, fire, or Spirit. Thus, it is incorrect to call him a Christian at this point.

Regardless, it is always good for visible Muslims to convert - it will (hopefully) give others of that faith pause. A good thing, IMHO.

Sure they are...Babies are not Christians...

You get wetted with the 'holy' water by a 'holy' man and your are a Christian...

I work with a fella that had to become a Catholic to marry a woman he fell in love with...He got the 'holy water treatment' and now he's a Catholic Crhistian...What an insult to Jesus Christ...He's no more a Christian than Osama Bin Laden...

There are thousands of former Arab muzlims who have accepted the free gift of Salvation offered by Jesus Christ (for real)...
