And the below man was raised a Presbyterian and became a minister. He came to the exact opposite conclusion that you did.

The well-known and very popular Catholic couple, Scott and Kimberly Hahn, have been constantly travelling and speaking all over North America for the last few years about their conversion to the Catholic Church. Now these two outstanding Catholic apologists tell in their own words about the incredible spiritual journey that led them to embrace Catholicism. Scott Hahn was a Presbyterian minister, the top student in his seminary class, a brilliant Scripture scholar, and militantly anti-Catholic ... until he reluctantly began to discover that his “enemy” had all the right answers. Kimberly, also a top-notch theology student in the seminary, is the daughter of a well-known Protestant minister, and went through a tremendous “dark night of the soul” after Scott converted to Catholicism. Their conversion story and love for the Church has captured the hearts and minds of thousands of lukewarm Catholics and brought them back into an active participation in the Church. They have also influenced countless conversions to Catholicism among their friends and others who have heard their powerful testimony
That’s nothing. Judas was taught by Jesus and still showed he was not one of His.
Bully for Scott Hahn. I repeat my question:
Do you accept that sincere, intellectually curious and honest people can arrive at a different conclusion?
Do you believe that anyone who leaves the Roman Catholic Church after careful consideration, much prayer, intense study of Scripture and history can also be "sincere", "intellectually curious" and "honest"? I can give you a list of intellectuals, theologians and others who did just that - left Catholicism and became Evangelical Protestants - if you are interested in reading their stories.
