It doesn't matter if you do it yourself or attend orientation.

“I’m saying that to be a Catholic one must believe and follow practices that depart so far from the simple message of Jesus in seeking the Father that preconditioning has to occur.”
God sees to that. The Holy Spirit absolutely and without equivocation guides us to the fullness of the church.
As you define your beliefs through your private interpretation of your reading of Scripture, I read Scripture and follow the Holy Spirits promptings and illumination. He has never failed to do instruct me.
He has also never failed to show me that the Catholic Church is true.
The cart is not before the horse. The Holy Spirit is pulling me into full communion, not the other way around.
Happy Sunday and many many blessings this glorious day!
