That happened to me. When I sought the truth from God in a prayer, I had no intentions of leaving the Catholic Church, it never even crossed my mind. All I knew was there was something more to the whole thing and that I was missing something. When I was shown John 10:27-30 and read it for the first time, a light went on and I knew it was the truth. I also knew it was NOT what I had been told all those years, in fact, it was the opposite almost. I felt a conviction in my heart that I knew I could not go back to the way it was. I felt God leading me out and I am happy to say I have not looked back or feel I have missed out on anything. God kept his promise that he was a “rewarder of those who diligently search for him”. Praise his wonderful name!

When I first accepted Christ, I went back to the Catholic church because that’s where I was raised.
But the longer I went and the more I read the Bible, the bigger and bigger disparity I saw between what the Bible said and what the Catholic church teaches.
I too left, and never looked back or regretted it one minute. Jesus set me free. Why would I want to go back into bondage?

I've heard this a lot and seen it in my own family.
I've learned that if I have the opportunity to witness to a RC to never bring up the idea of joining an Evangelical church. In the case of my FIL I just kept inviting him to join us for Sunday service. I've been blessed to have a pastor that really preaches The Gospel and calls on all non believers to believe every Sunday. My FIL heard The Gospel and believed.
