text: I've found just the same thing with cradle Catholics (and I am one) in RCIA classes I have attended as a sponsor!
  
  They do the precise same thing, expressing personal opinions about what they think the Catechism teaches, thinking their "cradle class" is sufficient. A union card.
  
  We all must view our understanding of what the Church teaches as ever imperfect, and we all must struggle (daily) to learn more, and to internalize more of what She teaches.
  
  This "striving" encourages a proper sense of "humility" (yuck word for elitists, I know) about their faith, and life long pursuit of holiness.
  
  But this sense of humility is what encourages a stirring and a happy growth mindset.
  I use the word conversion...one of continuous growing toward a more perfect union with the will and mind of God..precisely right.
  
  It's the elitists who want to impose "convert" to mean a class-notion, a simplistic demographic.
  
  This is a form of "border wall" within the Catholic Church, and it should be rejected.
