As I said, and as you have now confirmed, you were not seeking the
truth of the Catholic Faith.

There is no "romish cult." There is God's Church, the Catholic Church.
She was established by Christ to preach the Gospel to every creature,
and to lead His sheep to all truth. Since she was so established by
God Himself, and since He promised to her the Holy Spirit, if you say
she lies you say the same thing about God.

I cannot speak for my fellow Catholics. I try to exercise patience
with people like you, but not everyone is so fortunate as to have been
blessed with such patience.

Everything that is true in "Baptist Christian teachings," will remain
in you, and you will not lose any of it. Everything that is false in
those teachingsa will simply be removed from you by God, in His
Infinite Gentleness, if you let Him.

I don't know what your standards are, nor why you in particular will
want to come to the True Faith, if indeed you ever do. I do know that
you are a human being, and God is God. He is Omnipotent, and you are
not. Thus, He is perfectly capable of revealing the whole truth to
you, and all you have to do on your part is cooperate with His graces.

May He bring you into the fulness of the Truth! Amen!
