This sounds terrifically exclusive and severe, except it applies only to those who KNOW that the Catholic Church is the one Christ founded, and who NEVERTHELESS refuse to become Catholic.

Sigh...

...do you not mean BELIEVE here?

[Mrs. Don-o]

Belief is the only kind of knowledge we have as human beings. We do not have direct knowledge, as God does. We only have what we reasonably acknowledge to be partial and fallible, e.g. what we perceive, interpreted by what sense we can make of it.

So, if you like, you can say "believe."
