So, terycarl .... you were born into a Catholic family and because of that, you are forevermore a Catholic ? The most insidious form of rape

Possibly, but not probably....there has to be a true complete and unchallengeable form of Christianity, and i have decided that it is Catholicism.....It has existed from the time of Christ and has defended itself against interlopers over the years. Protestantism is the latest and will one day....probably soon, run out of gas and fade into history like the rest did.

If your answer is truth, then one CAN leave Catholicism and be a former Catholic which, as I understand you correctly, is an argument you use frequently against those that say they (for whatever reason) "came out from among them" (as scripture commands)

According to your reply to me, the decision was yours

Could not one decide for THEMselves also that Catholicism was NOT the true 'religion' and if so, THEIR thought processes are just as valid and mature as yours ?
