Funnt that Catholics complain about the word “rapture” not showing up in Scripture and there it is in the Latin VULGATE that THEIR church translated the Greek into.

And actually, “rapture” has a nice sound to it. Sounds sort of ethereal, with a sense of urgency. But “caught up” does the trick. Perhaps you remember that Jesus used harpadzo in telling how firmly we are in his grasp, as well as the Father’s, once we have become his property (Jn. 10:28,29); to seize or pluck someone out of an existing constraining force or condition.
