A devout Catholic is typically someone who goes to church at least once per week, prays regularly, goes to confession regularly, generally follows the moral teachings of the church, and by their example encourages other Catholics to do so as well.

I know many Catholics personally who attend services at Episcopal, Lutheran, and various other Christian churches, or who do not go to church at all, and they are all still considered by the Catholic Church to be Catholic.

Are Assyrians Eastern Catholics?
The Assyrian Church of the East is not in full communion with the Holy See and the Catholic Church, so the Assyrian Church of the East is not Catholic at all to begin with. However, some parishes that were once under the Assyrian Church of the East have since come into communion with the Chaldean Catholic Church and some of these Chaldean Catholic parishes kept Assyrian in their name, but they are still Chaldean Catholics. Chaldean Catholics are of the Chaldean Rite, which is an Eastern Rite in the Catholic Church, so they, Chaldean Catholics, are also Eastern Catholics. The only Assyrian Catholics are those Catholics that are of the Assyrian ethnic group.
Is the Catholic Church Masonic?
No, the Catholic Church is not Masonic. In fact, Catholics are not suppose to become Masons.
