What are the steps in converting to a Catholic religion?

Answer 1

Roman Catholic AnswerTo convert, one needs to speak to a priest. He will explain the process. Usually it involves RCIA, which is a study/answer class for inquirers to the faith. It usually starts in September and one makes his profession of faith in the Church at the Easter Vigil, receives whatever sacraments are necessary (Baptism, Confirmation, and first Holy Communion). First penance is made several weeks before Easter.

Answer 2

It is the writers opinion that there is little difference in either religion today, many of the protestant movements are leaning towards the Mother Church as each year passes. As a suggestion I would see the local priest and have him arrange for you to be baptized as a Catholic. I would suggest that your reason for doing so are sound.

Answer 3

Normally, you would enter an RCIA class in the late summer (RCIA stands for Rite Christian Initiation for Adults), attend classes throughout the year, and be received into the Church at the Easter Vigil. You need to speak with your local priest. If you have been validly baptized in a Christian denomination, you will make your first confession, and then be confirmed and receive your first Holy Communion at Easter. If you are not validly baptized, you will be baptized at the Easter Vigil.
