My personal experiences living in a totally catholic area of Ireland.
The only churches around for miles are and where catholic.
Most of them kids growing up would ask Jesus into there lives,
On the same bases a Christian would, confessing Jesus is lord, confessing Jesus rose and died for there sins and rose from the grave . With a sincere heart. At baptism.
Then
Confirmation for kids at 13 years old,
Every single one of those kids looking like angels at the confirmation.
All of those kids also being brought up in a Catholic schools that are strict on discipline.
None of those kids being subject to doctrinal issues. For most part.
Apart from some of there far left parents.
My thought would be why would God deny those kids being born again.
Especially since they shine so much at confirmation with nothing but a look of pure innocence on there faces.
But anyhow having said all that I have decided to leave the Anglican catholic church, because of doctrinal issues.
And because of a family feud that went on for years we have only just started to speak again.
And othe reasons.
I still love my family.
