I've seen this to be true dozens of time. Ex-Catholics end up mad they were lied to when all they have to do to be saved is believe in Christ as Lord, King,God and Savior.
Who wouldn't be angry they were lied to?
As Jesus insrtucts us -- "Be not afraid; only believe."

Your failboat has just arrived. Mormons believe in Christ as Lord, King, God and Saviour. So do Oneness Pentecostals and Jehovah's Witnesses. Thanks for once again pointing out the errors of Calvin.
There's a world of difference between being angry about being lied to and being bitter.
We are told not to sin in our anger, not that anger is necessarily the sin. There is a place for righteous anger at wrongs done. But that does not necessarily have to lead to bitterness and doesn't always. I don't know any ex-Catholics who are bitter.
There are a lot of accusations against former Catholics of bitterness, usually hurled at former Catholics by presently practicing Catholics. It seems to make them feel better, like they're better than everyone else. Or that it's the reason that the former Catholics are speaking out against the errors they see in Catholic church doctrine when compared to Scripture.
But it is untrue in what I'd say are the vast majority of the cases.
