Well, I don't believe that strongly in the ties of one denomination over another, so it might not be too accurate. But, for me, I would say that if you say you are baptist and start going to a baptist church you might as well be baptist. I prefer to stay categorized as non-denominational myself.
Allie Yun's Answer: If you are an adult, speak with somepeople at your church for details about converting. It is your life, and your decision which religion you would like to follow. If you are a teen or child, you can talk to your parents. If your parents still folloiw the Catholic ways OR they dont attend church, I'm not sure what you would do. I am in this situation right now. My parents dont attend church but we are "classified" as Catholics. I have gone to Faith Baptist Church with my friends many times and every time I feel that it is where I belong. I am building up courage to talk to my parents about this "issue" and hope you can build up that courage to. Christ will give you the strength and He will be the light that guides your way. If you really believe you need to convert, I am sure you will find a way.

∙ 13y agoBecoming a baptist does not require any legal processes. It is simply determined by your beliefs. Baptists believe in the Trinity: God is three Persons, the Father, Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit. They believe that if you pray to God admitting you are a sinner and telling Him you believe His Word and that Jesus came and died on the cross for your sins, you will become a Christian and spend eternity with Him when you die. You can never lose your salvation. The only other alternative is hell. All souls will have an afterlife. The key idea that makes a baptist a baptist is their belief that it is important to be baptized. They do not believe that this makes you a Christian, but it does allow you to profess your beliefs before the church.

If you have not been baptized in another church then you will be asked to go through a baptismal ceremony in the near future. Baptists do not believe in general that baptism "saves" you but is a ceremony that outwardly shows what has happened to your heart and soul.

∙ 12y agoTo become a child of God one must admit they have sinned, confess your sins, and accept Jesus Christ as your personal Savior.
Although there are things that are done in the church that demonstrate this personal decision they are rituals that help one follow Jesus in the way.
