I had no idea how to answer your question but I found this interesting explanation of "rapture."
http://www.catholic.com/library/Rapture.asp
I have not read it all but I will later because the topic is quite complicated as far as what rapture means to different Christian camps (I was not aware that it is such a complicated topic)..
Rapture is not a Catholic word though in the sense of your question.. After you read this, you might explore the topic with some of your Protestant friends of differing denominations and with your nondenominational Evangelical friends..
When you talk religion, it is always good to chat directly with well-read members about their own religions (theology) vs talking to people about "other/external" religions (religious studies).. Oftentimes when people talk about other brands of Christianity, wrong answers and perceptions are communicated.. This is why all ecumenical dialogue even between different Christian groups is so difficult at times.

No. The Rapture means exactly that. As a sunflower points its face to the sun, so our souls, as reluctant as they may have been, for one reason or another, (That God Himself in His Infinite Wisdom Only Knows), will rise up to Him with the Fullness of Joy that we experienced upon our arrival on this blue planet. The veil will be torn from our eyes, and we will see, truly see what is real and what is but shadow.

Yes - if you want to remain behind you can reject Christ.
That's definietly not my plan - if I am still alive when the Rapture happens.

You sure can. Right into the pit of hell, a lake of fire and brimstone. May God bless U.

Certainly no one is forced to miss the great tribulation..

Yes, accept Jesus now.
Remember, free will is only within God's limits. You cannot refuse to go to hell and heaven. You need to choose one from those two options with your free will.
