“Now you are the body and individually members of it”

That being the case, and knowing that as a person who has given myself totally to Jesus Christ, I am a part of His Body.

Amen yes you are!

Jesus also said that He would not cast out any who come to Him. I cannot be cast out for I have come to Him.

True. When you are born again (from above) and believe on Jesus, you are saved and no one can take you out of His hand or Kingdom.

What is to be done with people like me? Say it isn’t true that I am “saved”? No—there is no way that can be said.

No need for that.

You are part of the Body of Christ...made up of ALL those that are born again and who have decided to follow Him.

You are very positive about your conversion to Christianity, that is a good sign!

Don't let Catholism draw you into it's seemingly endless rituals and restraints.

Although the Catholic belief system is fraught with error and needless dogma that distracts from lookin at Jesus (such as praying to Mary, believing that SHE is the only way to salvation...etc etc...btw all sanctioned by their Popes as Gospel) that does not mean that there are no born again believers within their denomination.

Unfortunately, the leadership pushes Catholic Doctrine/Tradition as equal (and in some cases as more important) to scripture, but that is not true.

Stick with the simplicity of Christianity and do be led astray.

How about their teachings totally nullifies The Word of God! That is true. And no one can serve two masters.
