I've seen conversations where those who are "Born Again" (Pardon me if I'm not using the correct term), consider Catholics ...

Catholics consider themselves to be born again as well.

I'm Catholic (Haven't practiced since I was in 6th grade) and have never heard that?

I have always considered (Possibly ignorantly), those who are "Born Again" to be Protistants only. Even specific Protistants.

and here i always thought you were born again when you were Baptized...

I'm by no means a religious expert, but I'm pretty sure that this is absolutely not true of all Catholics. I know some Catholics of the liberal persuasion, and I highly doubt that they would consider themselves to be "born again".

I suppose that you could then make the argument that these folks aren't in fact "real Catholics", but I'm not going to be the one to tell someone that she isn't a real Catholic. :)

I have never heard of any Catholic considering themselves "born again." I do recall my former pastor stating that when asked if one has been saved, the Catholic response is that one has been "redeemed." Not sure if that helps, but I think you are mistaken on the "born again" aspect of Catholicism.

Actually, I'm not sure if the Church has any teaching on this, but "conceived again" would seem to make more sense.

We will be born again when we are given our new Heavenly bodies. As it stands, we have not been born a second time, merely infused with the Holy Spirit.

Catholics are "born" at their Holy Baptism and "born again" at their Confirmation.
