So, in answer to the original question, I consider my own experience and say why would anyone NOT become Catholic? Because faithful 1st Christians would not, due to what is shown above ,
And was raised devout, and later was manifestly born again with its profound heart and life changes, yet remained in practice a very faithful RC for 6 years, including serving as a CCD teacher and lector.
But the Lord led me out quite manifestly into evangelical faith, which decision He abundantly affirmed, though i am still in need of much growth in grace. Bless God.

So why’d He lead you out (of the Church started by Jesus Christ himself 2000 years ago) and not the rest of us Catholics? Does He love you more or something?

I just read the thread again but missed noting this post of yours on first and second readthroughs.
1. Didn't realize you were past a RCC member when I read your other posts.
2. It can come to you quietly and while you're still moving from one place to another: You realize the Truth you have been given to believe and you accept Him completely, keep walking, and don't look back.
