Your friend is NOT Catholic if she doesn’t follow the rules of the Church.....she might CALL herself Catholic, but she isn’t really. She was BAPTIZED Catholic, but she ISN’T Catholic.
not true at all...if you have experienced a legitimate baptism, regardless of where it took place, you are a Catholic.
since there is only one true Christian religion (Catholicism) any baptism is into that church. You cannot be baptized a Lutheran, a Methodist, a Baptist, an Episcopalian, a Presbeterian, etc. etc.... You are baptized a Catholic. Now you may (protest) and become a protestant, but you are still a Catholic. If you decide to return to the Catholic church, it is not even necessary for you to be re-baptized!....you were merely a temporarily fallen away Catholic and we welcome you back with open arms!!!!
