If a Catholic receives Jesus as their personal savior they can continue being a practicing Catholic. All they have to do is disregard the unscriptural doctrines and adhere to the scriptural doctrines of the Catholic Church, pay attention only to the scriptural parts of the Mass like the Penitential Rite, Apostles-Nicene Creed, readings from the Bible, prayers to Jesus and the Lord's Prayer. They can also every night when they go to bed rededicate their life to Jesus and ask Him to forgive any sins that they may have committed during the day. It really makes no difference what church someone attends after they have received Jesus as personal savior. Just as long as the church adheres to the doctrine of the Deity of Christ.

For once, I agree with Mike. JY is not a troll and is in much need of prayer.
The consistent repetition of the same lines with little variation is also indicative of extreme rigidity in thinking, and would place him somewhere on the spectrum.
Accordingly, despite the extreme frustration this engenders in readers he should be treated with gentleness and compassion, by other commenters, and above all prayer.
