"considered myself"
The return to Catholicism would perhaps indicate you were never truly "born-again." The new birth is a supernatural internal transformation. Catholism focuses primarily on the externals. Same problem the Scribes & Pharisess had.

Catholism focuses primarily on the externals. Actually that would be critics of Catholicism. You have to read pretty selectively to reach that conclusion. It's easy to gloss over words like "good" in "a good confession" or "a good rosary." It's easy to trivialize the commitment, which is an internal thing, of others.
Yet in another sense there is SOME truth in the criticism. God is in certain sense external, though not in the more important senses. And we do trust Him to work through sacraments. And I would venture to say that may of the "internally" committed would testify that on a day when things were as dry as the Baca Valley they looked back and found that it had been a place of springs after all. (Ps 84)

Ha ha! So, now you pronounce judgement! Great. Is this wahat the man-made group you formed preaches? So, the entire thing of "Bjorn again" is a hoax? Saying "oh, you were never truly bjorn again", so "you'll dust the dust off your shoes". Ha!
When a person leaves these man-made groups (like Benny Hinn, yours, DAvid Koresh, Creflo Dollar, the Moonies etc.), and joins Christ's Church, The One Holy Apostolic Catholic Church, no wonder the people still in the man-made attack them
These man-made groups are not only rejected by Christ's Church, they are rejected by Protestant mainstream groups like orthodox Anglican, Methodists, Lutherans. These groups like whichever man-made group you're in, are MAN-MADE, led by some nutter who just made up his own interpretation 2000 years after Christ.
