I've actually never been Baptised. I was set to attend a Baptist church when they closed due to the Corona virus. Which is actually pretty good because I might have never started to consider Catholicism. The advantages of the RCIA are why I like the idea of it.
God surely acts in a mysterious way, doesn't he?
Yeah I'm sort of learning as much as I can about Catholicism but I think it might be best to just contact a Church.
I do worry sometimes because I haven't been baptised. I also have done what Catholics consider mortal sins. What if I die before I can become Catholic or confess etc? I read online that if it's my intention to do both and if I am repentant for my sin I should trust the mercy of God. I am repentant and have prayed for forgiveness but it's still a worry.
Yes, that's precisely how it is! Your intent is known to God so dont worry about it. Call me a heretic, but God is above the sacraments, he's the master of all creation. He chose to establish the sacraments for our sake, not his. We are to make use of them sure, but God is not tied to them as are we.
I do sympathize with this anxiety of yours though. I felt very much the same way when I started my journey towards full communion seven years back.
Trust in the mercy of the Lord my friend, we all do.
