I’d LOVE to see a breakdown of how often worship services are attended.

Because if I remember correctly, Catholics teach that even if you never darken a church’s doorway again after you’re baptized, you still ‘count.’

(Kind of funny for a religion that preaches salvation by works, but that’s just me.)

I refer you to post #2

You probably just overlooked it.

          The Precepts of the Catholic Church:
          1. You shall attend Mass on Sundays and on holy days of obligation and rest from servile labor.
          2. You shall confess your sins at least once a year.
          3. You shall receive the sacrament of the Eucharist at least during the Easter season.
          4. You shall observe the days of fasting and abstinence established by the Church.
          5. You shall help to provide for the needs of the Church.
+ 5 The Precepts

You are gravely mistaken or purposely misrepresenting what the Catholic Church teaches.

Perhaps an RCIA course could help you with that.
