1) It is wrong to paint Hitler as a Catholic. Though he was baptized, he excommunicated himself, latae sententiae

Salvation constantly tells us that 'once a Catholic, always a Catholic'...So one of these is not true...Which one is not true??? Which one of you guys is wrong???

Something about baptism leaving an indelible mark on the soul, so I've heard.

Let me know if you get an answer.

Didn’t you once say you were a Catholic while mocking Baptists? And I remember you saying something about Unitarianism, modalism etc.

"Once Baptized always Baptized. You cannot undo your Baptism. Baptism makes you a Christian and member of the Mystical Body of Christ which is the Catholic Church. So in that very broad sense what Salvation said is true because the door to communion and salvation remains open to those that have left the Church until the moment of their death.

However, a person is truly Catholic when they believe and practice the teachings of the Catholic Church. Absent a Church in your life, I'll leave you to continue to explore the Mystery of Iniquity on your own.

Peace be with you
