Where are you on the “devotion scale” of one to ten, as far as how your “properly observe” or “practice” your faith?
This includes all other non-Catholics religions.
If for a Catholic, the minimum; is Non-observant and the below definition is at one end of the scale (closer to “1”) and the way Thomas à Kempis describes “imitating Christ” is at the other end of the scale (closer to “10”), where are you on the “devotion scale” from one to ten?
State your religion (only if you want to) and where you think you are on the “devotion scale”.
Is a possible to be more “devoted” to God as a Roman Catholic?

If you follow these then you are, by definition, a practicing Catholic. **The Imitation of Christ by Thomas à Kempis **-
