Just wanted you to go.. on record..
which is honest.. many will not..
I should perhaps add that the Church can only judge the outward form, as in this case, sacramental baptism and public apostasy. She cannot judge the internal disposition. It is possible for an unbaptised to be conformed to Christ internally, and it is possible for a baptized to be in apostasy without any external sign of it. An example that is usually given is several catechumens, -- that is, unbaptized undergoing instruction, -- that were canonized saints:
The Roman Breviary, with a Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur, 1936, states the following:"Emerentiana was a virgin of Rome and foster-sister of S Agnes. Though still but a catechumen she was filled with burning faith and charity, and upbraided the idolators who were attacking the Christians. The crowd thereupon stoned her to death. She suffered while praying at the tomb of S Agness, and, baptized in her own blood, so generously shed for Christ, gave up her soul to God."
In the Roman Martyrology, published by Order of Gregory XIII, and revised by the authority of Urban VIII and Clement X, and afterwards, in the year 1749 by Benedict XIV), this is said:
"At Rome, the holy virgin and martyr Emerentiana. Being yet only a catechumen, she was stoned to death by the Gentiles, whilst praying at the tomb of St. Agnes, her foster-sister.
Another catechumen according to The Roman Martyrology is St. Victor.
"At Braga, in Portugal,St. Victor, martyr, who although only a catechumen, refused to adore an idol, and confessed Jesus Christ with great constancy. After suffering many tortures, he was beheaded, and thus merited to be baptized in his own blood.
From The Roman Martyrology, page 182:
Alban, martyr, who gave himself up to save a cleric who he harbored. After being scourged and subjected to bitter torments, he was sentenced to capital punishment. With him suffered also one of the soldiers that led him to execution, who was converted to Christ on the way, and merited to be baptized in his own blood.
And on page 188:
"After having strenuously opposed the heretics by speech and writing, he was crowned with a glorious martyrdom, with almost all the people of his city, during the persecution of Severus. At Alexandria, in the same persecution of Severus, the holy martyrs Plutarch, Serenus, Heraclides, catechumen, Heron, neophyte, another Serenus, Rhais, catechumen, Potamioena and Marcella, her mother."
Page 257:
At Arles, in France, another blessed Genesius, who, filling the office of natary, and refusing to record the impious edicts by which Christians wre commanded to be punished, threw away his tablets publicly, and declared himself a Christian. He was seized and beheaded, and thus attained to the glory of martyrdom through baptism of blood.
Obviously, examples of the baptized who completely sever their relationship with the Church internally are all too common.
