My Definition of “Raised Catholic” and “Raised Protestant”: Parents took children to church when the children were young. “Young” being defined as the years a child is under a parent’s care in being raised, but ending in late teen years. How, or how not, the parent passed on their religous faith is probably a factor in “raised ....” but no longer attending church/considering oneself as Christian.
..and I would add that there are a good number of Christians who no longer go to church, because “organized religion” is beginning to get just as corrupt as “organized religion” was in Jesus’ day.
At one time, that was true. Today, however, sports has replaced Sunday worship. The parents make sure, though, that their children are baptized then return for First Communion. I have also heard "birthday party" as an excuse, as well.
Attending church does not qualify as being raised in the faith. That begins and continues throughout the week, at home.
You nailed it. If children didn’t continue attending Church in their College years — many dropped Church or were misled.
There is a long-standing pattern of people who were raised in church as children, dropped out in their twenties, and then came back to church later bringing their own children.
