My parents are Baptist, and I was raised as a Baptist. However, since I got to college 4 months ago, I have been exploring my own faith, and have decided to begin the RCIA process to become Catholic. Mom and Dad didn't take well to hearing that I had gone to mass in the first place...and I'm not sure how to break it to them that I'm leaving the Protestant church for the Catholic one.
I'm not going to let their protests stop me, but I don't want them to worry for me...they think that Catholics aren't Christians, and have all these deeply ingrained misconceptions about Catholic beliefs. How can I convince them that they don't need to be concerned for my mortal soul, and that Catholics are Christians too?
Please note: I would like answers from Catholics, or at least people who are well-informed about the Catholic faith. I know what a lot of Protestants mistakenly assume about Catholics, and I know it's not true. Thank you.
