[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are thinking like a Catholic.

Catholics frequently talk about people, usually Christian, converting to Catholicism and have a special reverence for converts.  Protestants usually think only of people converting to Christianity from a non-Christian religion.  There is a lot of fluidity among Protestant denominations that just doesn't exist between Catholics and Protestants.

Don't think about converting to Protestantism.  Just become a Lutheran, Episcopalian or whatever denomination you choose.[/quote]

I was being deliberately vague about the denomination. What I meant was, [b]at what point do I say "I'm [denomination] now; I'm no longer Catholic[/b]" if/when asked (especially by relatives)?[/quote]

Whenever you feel like it -- protestants are a lot looser than Catholics, as others here have been trying to tell you.

Could it be that you still feel catholic, because of your upbringing and your still catholic family, even though you have no intention of ever going back?  If so, try not to let that get in the way of your non-catholic practices.[/quote]

I'm perfectly okay with saying in not Catholic now; I just didn't want to sound "presumptuous" about already "being" the other denomination if I've only been going to their services for, say, a few months. [/quote]
