It could make it seem less false. You can claim a priest or minister told you anything, but that doesn't make it true.
The truth is the majority of my baptist general conference church is made up of one time catholics that have become disenchanted with that religion and recognized it as hollow...and it is. Service without Christ is not service to Christ. There are a few born-again catholics that I know of, but they struggle to introduce true Christian doctrine into that church. And no, I won't post their names here either. On the flip side, I can't begin to count the number of born-again Christians at my church who put Christ and scripture first and have no care about the religious political leanings of our modern day Pharisee catholic church.
