Or they are more personally aware of the inherent evil in Catholicism.

Naw, those who desert the Faith do so for personal reasons. Those who convert to the Faith do so for theological ones.

You've been told otherwise numerous times by numerous posters but go ahead, delude yourself.

I have no doubt it feeds so much insecurity and spiritual pride.

There's five or six of us on this thread that will dispute that.

You can say that again. They want a personal relationship with the one true God who sent His Son to this world. Jesus personally made it possible to go directly to the Father on a personal level with His personal assurance that we have been made clean by His personal blood. He personally said “whosoever may come” and didn’t require any risk taking by relying on some fallible egotistical fallen man. Jesus personally assured us that we would not come into judgment if we personally believed in Him.

"Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life." (John 5:24)

Jesus personally sits at the right had of the Father and is our personal advocate before the Father.

“My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.” —I John 2:1

Jesus gave us the ability to personally go before the Father not having to rely on any earthly corrupted human or any other go between.

“Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh.” (Heb. 10:19,20)

We are personally promised that we can have personal peace with God through our faith in Him.

Rom. 5:1, "therefore having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,"

You are so correct that there are many personal reasons to “come out” of the earthly rituals and mysticism of the RCC cult. No more restrictions to approaching our personal Lord and Savior personally rather than the uncertainty of a fallible man calling himself a “stand it” or “representative” but assured that we have a personal mediator between us personally and the Father.

1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
