The bottom line is I am baptized a Catholic when I was like two months old so that cannot be undone and I am also a confirmed Catholic (sacrament of Confirmation). I will always be a member of the Roman Catholic church no matter what. The thing is if I get excommunicated, then my salvation is gone and cannot be restored until my bishop or the Holy See lifts the excommunication. The thing is I don't want my church to excommunicate me. If I speak out against the teachings of my church, I could be excommunicated automatically by Canon Law.
Brother,
The only person have authority to put you in Hell is Jesus. I think this is also what you said before when I said that we must love and warn the wiccan to accept the Lord Jesus.
I know to be baptized when you two month old is not you own choice.
The Lord not save people base on the ritual. It base on what in your heart.
The thief on the Cross Ask Jesus to remember him and Jesus said you will be in paradise. He don't even have time to baptized.

[h=2]For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.[/h]
Brother, do you trust this verse? or do you think this verse lie?
In this verse Jesus doesn't said the ritual make you save.
Your heart is the thing Jesus looking for.
Let say I am a rapist. Than I go to baptized ritual. Do you think Jesus so inconsiderate choosing which go to heaven by whether one goes to ritual or by the fruit?
The bible said the tree judge by it fruit. and the fruit of the Holly spirit is love (Galatians 5)
and if the branch not bear fruit will be cut and throw to the lake of fire.
We know from Jesus own teaching/ the owner of Heaven own teaching which group go to hell. Not the group that leave catholic but a group that not bear the fruit.
I am not pushing you to leave Catholic brother. I only tray to remind you to see if the teaching of catholic agree with the teaching of the bible about your own salvation.
Please pray sincerely, ask Holly spirit to guide you whether you follow the Bible teaching or the Catholic teaching.
Oh Lord Jesus, please speak to my brother Shyness the way to the salvation. I know You love him Father.
