BEING Catholic does NOT mean one is born again. Where did Christ say “ye must be a Catholic to enter the kingdom of God”?
sure it does, you must be baptized to be a Catholic....in fact if you were properly baptized ANYWHERE, by ANYONE, then you are a Catholic and hence, born again as Christ promised that you'd be!!!!! Isn't that exciting?? And knowing that He founded the Catholic church (there was none other for 1,600 years) I think that it is safe to assume that He wanted us to seek Him and salvation and the Eucharist through the church THAT HE FOUNDED!!! reasonable assumption I'd say.
