The question is always can one be saved and stay a Catholic.? I have friends that have they simply ignore the doctrine they find troubling. I am a honest person..I could not go to communion when I do not believe it is the body of Christ.I could not sit silent during a practice that troubled me spiritually. I remained and was VERY active in the church for a few years..I worked retreats, I assisted bring a Prison ministry to our area, I lectured and played in a folk group, I taught CCD..But the moment of truth came when I realized the scale had tipped and I disbelieved more doctrine than I believed. I had to go if I was to be honest. I could not teach other women in the name of the church or minister in that name..I left
I have known many Catholics over the years that went to mass on Saturday and a protestant church for scripture teaching on Sundays
You know me well enough to know that I am honest if not suave and clever:>) I can not pretend to be what I am not..
