It does take a while to become a part of it if you weren't baptized as an infant. it varies, though. talk to a pastor or someone you know that is a practicing catholic and see what you can do to join. <3 [ LoveNJstyle's advice column | Ask LoveNJstyle A Question ]

Atleast you made your own decision about what you wanted to believe. Everyones diffrent and thats ok and it doesnt make anyone better or worse.Youl just have to go to classes and get confirmed and baptised or you could just adopt it has a belief its however or whatever your comfortable with.

If you believe in god you are a christian, if you believe in god and that the pope is his messenger on earth, then you are catholic. [ theymos's advice column | Ask theymos A Question ]
