I was born a Roman Catholic and will die one. Because I know the truth when I see it.

I have, here is a brief explanation I posted to you tube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrXdlfutN58

In the end it was everything, it is all resolved or explained with in the Church I mean it is the only Church that has a direct link to Christ and the original apostles, especially Peter the first Pope and the one Christ told to head the Church.

EWTN has also been instrumental and very beneficial to my faith

Cradle Catholic here. But I know a lot of converts, two of them very holy priests. In fact, in my experience converts are often more devout than cradle Catholics.

Kinda.

About my Jr. year of high school, I decided that being born a Catholic wasn't a good enough reason to stay one, so I converted to a "non-denominational" pentecostal church.

There I found too much theological and spiritual inconsistency (if not hypocrisy) so I went to other protestant churches: Lutheran, Baptist, Methodist. I even looked into Judaism and Buddhism.

In the end, I came back to the Catholic Church. For all it's faults, it has the most right with it.

IMO.

I converted from Buddhism as a baby to be an Episcopalian then to a Baptist. Wow, then I left and started over, then I found God. God is within all of us.

Peace.

Me!

Well, technically, I went Protestant to Agnostic to Unitarian Universalist to Pagan to Catholic, so it's kind of round-about, but there it is.

So what made me decide to convert?

Well, it happened slowly. My husband was in the hospital because of a nasty reaction to some medication, and while he was there, he was having a crisis of faith (he was Pagan at the time, a priest of Anubis). While there, one of the chaplains introduced him to the priest who worked the hospital, since my husband had been Catholic in his youth.

The priest helped my husband through his crisis of faith and led him through the Rite of Reconciliation. I then went to my first Mass with my husband, who helped the priest up on the altar.

Over the next few months, I felt more and more drawn while at the same time more and more resentful and hateful. Athena was everything, I told myself, and the Christian God was nothing.

One day, we went to the Shrine of the Black Madonna in Eureka, Missouri. There, I found a beautiful rosary. It had a Celtic cross crucifix on it. I felt something different as I held it. That was when I finally heard God calling me home. Christ sent His mother for me to help pull me in to His church.

That September, I started RCIA, and last March, I was baptized, confirmed, and had my first holy communion.

No not technically but my is Catholic but I go to a Protestant church but since my parents stopped going to church just before they had me and didn't have me baptized as a baby I was never a member of the Catholic church.

Christs church is all believers not a denomination!
