How to Become Catholic
Becoming a Catholic, while a weighty decision, is easy in practice, although it will take time. It's easy to take your first step into joining the oldest Christian institution in the world. Take heart! Converts to Catholicism are among the strongest in their faith in all of Christianity.

[edit] Steps
Read the Bible often, and pray often.
Find a local Catholic church. It's not too hard - just look under the yellow pages of the phone book under "Churches." Alternatively, the website Mass Times allows you to search for churches based on parameters such city, zip code, phone number, or country.
Look into the traditions and teachings of the Church, and see how Catholics defend them. It is important to know WHY you are converting.
Attend a Mass or two, preferably with a Catholic friend who can explain when to do things and what they mean. Don't let a particular mass or church influence your decision. Most churches have had a fair amount of variation in services. There are often "teen masses" or "guitar masses" as well as languages corresponding to the local minority community. Additionally, your enjoyment of the sermon may depend on the priest who is celebrating that particular mass.
Once you find a church you like, contact the Parish Office and inform them of your desire to convert. There are generally group classes for all people wishing to convert within a period, giving you a social framework for assimilating the experience.
You will be asked to talk to a priest or deacon, or perhaps to a layperson who is experienced in the conversion process. He will ask you why you wish to become Catholic and in general, talk to you to be sure you are sincere in your desire and are aware of the conditions of being Catholic.
If you continue on in the process, you'll start taking Catholic education classes, also known as RCIA or Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults. You will learn the history of the Church, the beliefs and values of the Catholic Church, and the proper order of celebration of Mass. During this stage, many classes have you attending Mass for only part of the time, leaving before communion, as you may not receive Eucharist until you have entered the Church.
If you're lucky enough to become Catholic around Easter, you'll get to be baptized (if you haven't been baptized before), receive your first communion, and be confirmed at the Easter Vigil, the special Mass held the evening before Easter Sunday (your first reconciliation will be held sometime before).

Answer 4

You do not need any further instruction in order to be lost, which is the effect of following a man and trusting in Rome.

Catholicism adopted a leadership that flows much out of the Roman Empire in which it was found. It thus presumes an autocratic authority which is answerable to know one, and relegates the Bible to a second class authority and equal to uninspired human tradition. And out of which manifestly unScriptural doctrines like indulgences and novenas and prayers to saints were adopted, and the Bible was effectively bound from the common people for hundreds of years (while later Bingo was loosed).

Most Catholics trust their own merits and the power of the Catholic church will eventually gain them entrance into Heaven, which faith is just what Catholicism fosters, but the Bible explicitly teaches that it is "Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost" (Titus 3:5).

(Eph 2:8-9) "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: {9} Not of works, lest any man should boast."

That by coming before God as a sinner, destitute of any merit whereby one may escape Hell and gain Heaven, and casting all their faith upon Christ and His blood for justification and regeneration (Rm. 3:9 - 5:8; Eph. 1:13; Titus 3:5), they are forgiven and made alive by Hi life-giving Holy Spirit. And having turned from sin to Him, this decision is shown by being baptized under water (Acts 8:37) to walk in newness of life (Rm. 6). To God be the glory alone!!!

Answer 5

I guess my question to you would be . . . Why would you want to convert to a religion that is so clearly against almost everything God commanded for His true church?!

Do yourself a big favor and check into the "Real" purpose of the "Universal" church (Roman Catholic church) and who is really running it!

God Bless You
