And in some regard, thats one of the elements that seperates Christianity from Catholicism.

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.

I would like to state that I never said that it is impossible to become a Catholic when you don't have Catholic parents. However, I said Catholicism was hereditary. I mean that in the sense that the primary way of becoming a Catholic is having Catholic parents (instead of trusting on the Lord Jesus).

Obviously, there are many people who became Catholics without having Catholic parents. However, Catolicism regards a person who has never believed in Jesus as their Savior to be a "Christian" simply because their parents were Catholic and had them baptized. That is in contradiction with what is taught in Scripture. I realize that there is a confirmation when they get older. That is irrelevant. Baptism is only for those who repent and can testify that they have experienced the salvation through the atonement of Christ.
