text: i just asked how does one 'become' catholic.. thanks for the real answers, i ignored the others...? i am a long time non-denominational christian. i am considering converting because i dated a cathlic for a long time (now broke up) and went to her church every other sunday. i enjoyed my time there and learned a good bit but was never approached about conversion... this is why i asked the question. thanks to those of you that gave serious answers. god bless.  with love and prayers in christ.
