"Still don't understand the concept of born again Christians?"

Catholics are "born from above" (gennatha anothen) at baptism. Catholics also experience regeneration, which matches the Evangelical definition (Titus 3:5) and conversion.

Peace be with you

It appears that you don’t understand born again even though you can write it in Greek.

No one can be born again from baptism unless other factors are present.

If one has their infant baptized, then tells the child when 12 or so that they have eternal life (they are born again), that will lead them on the path to hell.

Catholics need to understand the importance of a personal relationship with Jesus.

It’s very simple to pray a prayer and become born again, and it is NECESSARY to do in order to be saved, even if one is baptized as an infant
