Be careful about flattering people as you point out. There is no former catholic. Everyone baptized Catholic who received the sacraments will be judged Catholic. No amount of ridicule will change that for them. No matter how big the anticatholic crowd

Sure there is.

The claim that Catholic baptism leaves an indelible mark on the soul forever is pure hokum and nothing more than a vain attempt at a blatant power grab by the Catholic religion to attempt to control people by threatening them with their eternal destiny. It's still trying to claim ownership and control over people whether they want it or not.

When one is born again/born from above, he becomes a new creature in Christ, the old has gone. We have died to self and the flesh is crucified with Christ. So even *IF* that claim is true about baptism, it's erased when someone is born anew.

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

So Catholicism has no claim of control or authority over me any more.

Nothing any pope or priest has to say about me or over me has any effect on me nor am I subject to it.

Jesus alone saved me and *HE* is the One I answer to, not some corrupt, pedo infested, religious organization calling itself a church while walking in direct disobedience to everything Jesus taught.
