Don’t forget Franco, Mussolini, and Hitler were baptized Catholic, too.

Every humaan being that ever lived who was legitimately Baptized was baptized Catholic....it can NEVER be any other way...you too

Not quite. There are hundreds of millions of validly baptized people who are not members of the Catholic Church. All the grace they receive through their baptism and other means is mediated by the Catholic Church, because the Catholic Church is Jesus Christ. But baptism makes a person a Catholic only if that is desired by his parents or, in the case of adult baptism, he himself.

We are commanded to be baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, not in the name of the Catholic church.

So, no, not everyone who has been baptized was baptized into Catholicism.

Hate to break that news to the RCC but their power grab fails.

Do you believe the Roman Catholic baptisms of Franco, Mussolini, and Hitler accomplished anything for them? They didn’t exactly exhibit the winsome work of the Holy Spirit now did they?

I know for sure their Roman baptisms did nothing positive for the world.
