First of all, unlike all other major faiths, Christianity does not teach that having Christian parents or ancestors makes you a Christian.

Exactly. And in some regard, thats one of the elements that seperates Christianity from Catholicism. There is no such thing as hereditary (or forced) salvation (or forced baptism for that matter) in true New Testament Christianity.

What in heaven’s name could you possibly be referring to? There is no heredity element to being a Catholic. Neither of my parents were Catholic. Neither of my wife’s parents were Catholic. Yet, we both are Christian Catholics.
