I didn’t say the Holy Spirit has led you to partake in her delusions, and I do not think He would do so (lead you into delusion)...He is the Spirit of truth.

I encouraged you to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit to the best of your ability, and I trust that God will bless you for doing so. If you feel He has lead you into the Catholic church that is between you and God, regardless of my opinion.

If I rebuke a brother or sister in Christ for a sin (or many) in their life, that does not mean I count them as an unbeliever (though if they refuse to repent at some point I might), I just encourage them to walk in the truth and in the light — and to repent of their sin(s). BTW, what if they’re right and I’m wrong? Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.

If I speak against the false doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church, that doesn’t mean I think there is no good in the church or her people, sorry, the world isn’t always that black and white. There are people I know who met Jesus in cults (Jehovah’s Witness and Mormonism), and one friend I have who met Jesus and was radically converted on an LSD trip.

So I am sorry if you are disappointed by my not telling you what to do, but I respect you too much to do that, and I understand that you have to answer to God, and not to me.

Ah, I see. Do you not see the condescension in what you have said. And the fact that you copped out in answering the question I put forth? If I pray to be led to the truth, and that prayer has led me back to the Church, has the Holy Spirit misled me? Why would He lead me to a Church that is so wrong in its worship of God through His Son, Jesus? I don't accept your fall back, stock answer. Why would the Holy Spirit allow me to fall into false teachings when I have prayed for the truth?

You don't have to answer this post, I get it already
