You are totally free to make up your mind to refuse assent to Dogma. You just don't get to declare yourself a good Catholic simultaneously.

It's called personal responsibility -- if you make a decision, you also accept the consequences of that decision.

Thank you.

If I could be permitted the privilege of defining myself I would say that I am a Bible believing Christian who happens to be a Catholic. If this offends some Catholics, so be it. If this offends some Protestants, so be it. I really don’t care.

There are over a billion Catholics in the world today. We are not only the world’s oldest Christian denomination, we are also, by far, the world’s largest Christian denomination. It would be a mistake to assume all one billion Catholics think exactly the same way. Many of us, including me, believe that the Bible is the primary source with respects to the Word of God.

Spoken like a 'True Scotsman'!
