“You don’t just become a Catholic, I’ve heard, you must first go thorough orientation...”

Find out for yourself. It’s called RICA and comprised of bible studies, catachism and church teachings based on the bible study. You would have a sponsor to help you and guide your faith journey.

Orientation it is not. It is the formation of a Christian conscience, a deeper understanding the faith, and a Christian walk with other catechumens. This process is grounded in the Acts btw.

Yes, surprisingly we Catholics know the Acts of the Apostles!

It’s called RICA

I think that maybe that's the one for dyslexics. The one I took was RCIA - the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults. They weren't talking about emotional maturity so I was able to sneak in.

And evidently I missed the brainwashing part. Or else they are REALLY REALLY sneaky and were able to wash my brain without torture or any of that. The seats WERE kind of hard though.

You just described orientation and preconditioning.
