I am a non catholics who is currently attending RCIA. I have a strong desire of becoming a catholics. Being a non catholics, I attended mass many times and prayed like a catholics.
I got several doubts which I would like to clear:
1) Can I put sign of the cross and gospel sign during mass and during prayers?
2) Can I say, our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be like any other catholics?
3) Will God answer my prayers even though I am still not baptised and not a confirmed catholics?
4) Can I kneel and exchange of peace to others during mass in church?
5) If I am not baptised for some reasons, can I proclaim myself as catholics and follow catholics doctrine and teaching?
Thank you
Peace be with you
Answer Peace
dear Edwin,
You can generally do anything thats lawful for Catholic to do. Until you are baptized, you can't receive our Savior at Mass in the Eucharist.
