Now the cat is out of the bag.
First I was *poorly catechized*.
Now there's the admission that I wasn't.
She was born and raised Catholic. That means shes a lapsed Catholic and any time she wants to start going back to Mass she only needs to go to Confession.
I have been crucified in Christ and I no longer live but Christ lives in me. The life I live I live by faith in the son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me.
The metmom who was baptized and raised Catholic, died in Christ and no longer exists.
There is no * still Catholic*, no *indelible mark on the soul*.
There is nothing that the blood of Jesus can't address and that includes any claims to ownership of my soul by anyone but HIM.
If there ever had been a mark, which there isn't anyway because there's no Scriptural substantiation for it, it cannot withstand the power of Jesus to deliver it and set it free and erase that alleged mark.
I belong to HIM and the only seal on me is the seal of the Holy Spirit as promised to all who believe in Him and receive Him for salvation.
