There is something I don’t understand here. I was baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran Church. Just before graduating from high school, I was inspired to become a Catholic. I accomplished this in 1943. 3 things were required. 1) I had to kneel at the Communion railing and renounce the heresy of Luther according to a statement that I spoke aloud and then signed. 2) I was baptized at the church’s baptismal font 3) I immediately then had to go to confession. Why did I have to do all this to join? PS-I’m still a loyal and obedient Catholic.
