sorry I cant give you what you need.
I am a cradle Catholic.
I became firmly, totally and forever Catholic when I was about 10 when I was serving 6:30am weekday Mass.
It was mid-winter and was just the organist (who sang the Mass in Latin), myself (a newbie altar server) the priest and no parishioners (at least that I saw).
The Mass was nearing the consecration when the priest intones the SANCTUS while the organist singing to God sings the SANCTUS in Gregorian chant.
the priest says:
SANCTUS, Sanctus, Sanctus, Dominus Deus Sabaoth. Pleni sunt caeli et terra gloria tua. Hosanna in excelsis. Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini. Hosanna in excelsis.
which means:
HOLY, holy, holy, Lord God of hosts. Heaven and earth are full of Thy glory. Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest.
meanwhile the organist sang the Sanctus acapella in Gregorian chant:

At that moment I knew what it meant to be Catholic and to ‘be lifted up’ and ‘to be in the Spirit’.
I will be that Catholic to the day I die.
Ad Majoram Dei Gloriam
For the Greater Glory of God
Again...catholics identify with a denomination....not the Savior.
There is a difference.
I became firmly, totally and forever Catholic when I was about 10 when I was serving 6:30am weekday Mass.
Actually, your lack of answer is now answer enough.
Very, very sad.
I became firmly, totally, and forever a Christian when God called me, opened my heart and my eyes to my need of a Savior -- Jesus Christ -- and He gave me salvation by grace through faith alone in Christ... he gives me the faith to trust in Him. He saved me. Now and forever.
I pray that you will be able to give that testimony. Being Catholic will no more save you than standing in a garage will make you a car.
