How can a Roman Catholic join the Greek Orthodox Church?
Catholic AnswerThis is known in the Catholic Church as apostasy and is an automatic excommunication. If there is something you feel drawn to in the Greek Orthodox Church, then you should look into the Greek Uniate Church with is the part of the Greek Church which has always been in union with Rome (even after the Greek Orthodox left the Church). You may attend Greek Uniate Sacraments with no special permission, but to officially change Rites, you would need to apply to your Bishop and their Bishop.

Can an infant be baptized in the Catholic church yet be Orthodox his church yet retain an Orthodox membrshp?
No, baptism in the Catholic Church automatically means that you are bound to all the laws of the Rite in which you are baptized. Orthodox Churches are in schism, however, there is a Catholic Rite for each of the Orthodox Churches. When the Orthodox split, half of them remained with the Catholic Church, so there is a Greek Uniate Rite as well as a Greek Orthodox Church. A Catholic has no problem with going to the sacraments in another Rite.
