REVELATION18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. Now get youself a KJV BIBLE and dont look back.

You may not understand.  I have not been Roman Catholic for over 25 years...but, if you ask a Roman Catholic...they will call me a "fallen away Catholic."  I don't want to be known as a "fallen away Catholic."  That term implies that I will someday return to the Roman Catholic Church.  I will not ever do that and I want to be known as that - somebody who will not return to the RCC.  I am asking the Catholics here:  How do I get you to call me "not Catholic" and not a "fallen away Catholic?"

why would you want lost people to reconise you as any label, 25 years on, its time to move on surely. why on earth would you want to be labeled non catholic, this is not a game. I think your eternal life is more important.

Original Message I was raised in the Roman Catholic Church. I no longer believe most of its doctrine. How can I get present Roman Catholics to say that I am "not Catholic" and not a "fallen away Catholic." I will not ever return to being in the RCC. I would rather saw my own head off than be back in the RCC. Tell me if I am wrong - the RCC is not the mafia - right - once you are in the mafia, you can never leave...is that what the present Roman Catholics believe...you can never leave the RCC? I want to be considered "not Catholic" and not a "fallen away Catholic!"
