A person is a Catholic from the minute that he is born, if he is born into a Catholic family, or when he first starts studying for Baptism. An adult in RCIA (the program for adult converts) would be buried in a Catholic cemetery if he died before Baptism.

What is the Catholic attitude toward non christian religions?

Catholics generally think that anyone who is not Catholic is damned to eternal suffering in hell. This includes every non-Christian religion (Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, etc.), as well as non-Catholic Christians (Protestants). However, most Catholics don't get mad at anyone who isn't Catholic. In fact, they tend to pity them and try to warn them about what will happen if they don't become Catholic. Non-Catholics tend to hate it when Catholics try to convert them like this, but the Catholics see themselves as saviors.
