not what church we’ve been baptized into, if you have been baptised legitimatly, you are a Catholic, doesn't matter where or when. There is only one true Christian religion on Earth and that is Catholicism. You cannot be baptized Lutheran, Methodist whatever. It doesn't matter where you were baptized, if you were baptized...you're a Catholic....welcome home.

The Catholic church can made no blanket claim on me or anyone for the simple fact of being baptized.

Scripture teaches that we are baptized into Christ, not a church.

I do not recognize as legitimate their blanket claims of ownership over anyone who is baptized, no matter when or where. It's a power grab, plain and simple. Just a matter of trying to control and bring into bondage.

Because if that claim is true, then the church can then claim authority over that person, to tell them what to do. That's just a control issue on their part.
