You left so that tells me God saw you as one “seeking Him with all your heart” and a desire to know His Truth as he wants it be learned and heard.
I have a friend in Cal. who left the catholic church who now has home bible study with others seeking the Lord. Many who come there were introduced to cathoicism but have not found ‘it’ satisfied them....too rigid and too demanding with Masses and dictates how to believe even if they don't understand.
Good on you for answering His call on your heart mind and soul! The truth shall set you free...and you are free indeed! God never disappoints the true seeker of Him.
Yes, God never disappoints. I hate to sound like a one issue rant, but I dumped the Catholic Church, because I knew I could never live up to their plan of salvation. I knew if I lived under that system, I would end up in hell fire. 🔥 So, when given the choice between deal or no deal, I chose no deal. Now, I have assurance of salvation. 😇 Ain't like grand? 😆
