Wouldn't happen.
ALL religion is a scam.
Whether it's objective is to control people's behavior, avoid taxes, or to avoid prosecution for molesting young boys, ALL religions have self-interest at their core.

Probably very excited. However, I've been burned before. I got all excited and then later found out that the religion was a total scam.
I would suggest that you read up on the religion, but also... EVEN MORE IMPORTANTLY, that you go online and read opposing viewpoints about it. This might save you from becoming involved in a cult; from losing money, possessions, family and friends; and just feeling cheated later.
If you read about what skeptics say about your religion and your religion still responds in such a way that you agree with, then go for it. Personally? I'm an atheist.

You have no idea how creeped out I was when I read the Tao Te Ching.... and then the Zhuangzi ..... and found that my "Nihilist" views were expressed with only the merest of up-beat twists by the ancient chinese philosophers in question.
I found since that my views aren't "conventionally Nihilistic" ... if such a thing can be said.
That is why I call myself Hui-Qu'ist now.
I fall about halfway between the grim, chaotic and uncaring ways of the Nihilist and the content, distant and calm ways of the Taoist.

Test the spirit my friend. The devil can call us also. He is the great deceiver, even to the point of creating signs and wonders. But he has come to kill, steal and destroy humans.
If this calling is from God, it will be confirmed by His Word, the Holy Bible. If not, you are following another false religion and the world is full of Satan's religions.

It could mean something exordinary.
If you truly believe that the religion is ''calling'' you, then it may convey your true interest in the religion, hence you are reading about it.
Good luck in finding your true religion.

You know what is inside you. Sometimes people ignore what their instincts are telling you. If you feel a calling then you should follow you feelings. As long, of course, as you don't harm anyone or yourself.

Surprised, as it hasn't happened yet. I get that feeling when reading Hunter S. Thompson, though...

I would feel like I already felt its calling....
Isn't the answer already in the question?
"How would you feel if you felt bad?"
"Would you be hot if it was hot?"
