I was baptized Catholic when I was a baby and I went to CCD for a couple years in elementary school. I made my First Communion, but then I quit CCD and never made my confirmation. I don't consider myself a Catholic (or a Christian) and haven't gone to church for 10+ years. I don't celebrate Easter and my husband and I don't decorate our home for Christmas. To make my parents happy, I do exchange gifts in their home, but that's it. My question came about after reading that Prince William isn't allowed to marry a Catholic. Now don't jump to any conclusions - I'm happily married and have no secret desire to marry royalty. However, it got me wondering, do you have to be confirmed to be considered Catholic, or just baptized? In a case like this royalty marriage thing, would I be considered Catholic? If so, how do you "undo" a religious decision you never made for yourself, without actually converting to another religion? Besides the royal marriage, are there other times it would matter?
