Before taking the plunge, I suggest you become aware of a few things first.
Once you're committed-- completed First Holy Communion and Confirmation
--God will be holding you accountable to comply with everything Rome
teaches and stands for: the Commandments, the Canon Law, the dogma,
the rituals, the Traditions, the Councils, the Bulls, the Encyclicals, the rites,
the holy days of obligation, and the entire Catechism; plus everything that
Jesus and the apostles taught in the New Testament, i.e. the gospels and
the epistles.
That's a lot to remember, let alone put into practice.
And then there's the matter of mortal sin. When Catholics leave this life with
just one non-absolved mortal sin on the books, just one, they go straight to
Hell. It's a direct flight; no stopover in a Purgatory. Even if a Catholic
managed to be a top performer in faith and practice for fifty years, none of
that will be taken into consideration. They will leave this life as if they'd been
a pagan the whole time. Mortal sins are that lethal.
In addition; God isn't a political appointee like the members of the US
Supreme Court, viz; He isn't biased towards the left or to the right, i.e. the
justice of God is fair across the board, so that affiliation with the Roman
church grants no one special consideration. (Rom 2:6-11, and 1Pet 1:17)
