Actually no heathen is a Catholic. Once baptized, a man is a heathen no longer. If he falls from grace after that then he may act like a heathen, but that doesn’t make him one.

Mar 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

The scripture proves you wrong...If you're baptized without believing, you're still a heathen...

Not at all. The scripture you referenced was clearly about baptizing adults early in the Church. Although the verse has importance in general for baptism, it is clearly not about an empty ceremony as you would have us believe. Baptism was for the forgiveness of sin - as pointed out in Acts. The scriptures prove you wrong - but that was a foregone conclusion if you’re opposing Christ’s Church.
