Belief in God in the Catholic Church is called Faith, and it is one of the Theological Virtues that is infused into a person at their Baptism. In other words, belief in God is a grace, a gift of God, a supernatural virtue infused by Him. "Before this faith can be exercised, man must have the grace of God to move and assist him; he must have the interior helps of the Holy Spirit, who moves the heart and converts it to God, who opens the eyes of the mind and 'makes it easy for all to accept and believe the truth.'" (Dei Filius 3: Denzinger-Schönmetzer, Enchiridion Symbolorum, definitionum de rebus fidei et morum {1965} 3008). After this infusion of faith, the person must live in it, and cooperate with the grace of God for it to become active and alive. Being brought up in a Catholic home leads one to receive the sacraments, and to cultivate an active prayer life.

A Catholic upbringing often involves regular religious education, participation in religious rituals and practices, and exposure to Catholic teachings and values. This involvement can instill a sense of faith and belief in God from a young age and provide a framework for understanding and experiencing the divine. Additionally, the community and support found within the Catholic Church can reinforce and nurture this belief in God.
