Hitler was admonished by a priest as a teenager, went crying from the church and NEVER RETURNED (there is NOTHING to suggest that he ever went to mass again and he certainly didn't have a Catholic funeral). By his actions he would later excommunicate himself.
Stalin left the seminary and would later tell the world that he rejected the Church in favor of Marxism. His own actions would also later excommunicate him. Wag I am always told I am still a Catholic and still under the authority of the catholic church because my Catholic baptism left an INDELIBLE mark on my soul.
How is that not true of them ??

A person can excommunicate themselves through their own actions (this has been true since the time of Judas). The Church will sometimes make public the names of those who are excommunicated, but they aren't required to.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I owned and was the doctor in a busy health clinic. One day I had a 3 or 4 year old in the examining room and I noticed a crudely drawn tattoo of the letter “M” on his arm. I asked the little fellow how this ( “indelible”) mark got there. He said that his mom and her friends were drunk and put it there.
I think that before anyone does anything “indelible” to another person they should be certain that the person is old enough to have the agency to accept it or reject it.

If anyone has left the Catholic Church and repudiated its teachings, then that person is an excommunicated Catholic -- that person has excommunicate him/herself. To all appearances here, that is true of you.

"How is that not true of them ??"Because the possibility of Salvation is available to even the most egregious sinner up until the moment of his/her death.
