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.
