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 ?

No....you can always deny truth out of ignorance, but you can NEVER justify what is undeniable error.
