Hello everyone,
I don't know if this is the right place for this, or even if I'm allowed to discuss this on here, but let me tell you a little bit about myself.
I am born and raised Baptist. I used to think I wanted to become a preacher, but now I think God is leading me to other things. For a while, I was looking into Catholicism, but am wanting a true relationship with Christ and a true desire for the Word of God. As I am now attending a very prominent Baptist college, I have found a wonderful body of believers around me.
Today, I was texting back and forth with one of my Catholic friends. This is exactly what she told me, that if I really am rejecting Catholicism that I am not a true believing Christian. She also said that I "reject the true Church of Christ and thus do not really worship the One God."
Now, there are many things that I do like about the Catholic faith, but this had to be one of the biggest turn offs for me, where if I was not Catholic I am somehow condemned.
If anyone can tell me how to respond to this, or any way to further my relationship with Christ and to get any doubts out of my head, it would be a blessing.
Thank y'all
