Don’t pretend like it’s that straightforward. You might have a vocation, you might not. If you don’t, **you might ask Our Lord and His Most Holy Mother to help you **go through it to have an objectively better state in life that the one that might’ve been designed for you. But that doesn’t make it “all come down to faith”. There are those that need a pious life in another state of life to reach sainthood, and have the religious life as a mere option for them for a easier way to reach it, and there are those that can’t properly convert without disposing everything they’ve got into Our Lord’s service. And the OP seems to be asking wheter or not she’s the latter…

There is no pretending. What you are saying to do in prayer, which I bolded, is exactly what someone does as an act of faith.

That’s true, but that doesn’t apply to all cases, as there are souls that are called to religious calling right off the bat, without our request of Providence to be capable of having it.

It does come down to faith on most cases, but not all… 👍
