The first part, that says: "all baptized persons are parts or members of the true Church," is incomplete, therefore not the whole truth which results in being cause for confusion.

Very simply, baptized prot babies are members, but only until the age of reason. If they never become Catholic after the age of reason, then they remain outside of the Church unless or until they do become Catholic.

The bolded is only true if apostates / heretics had the Catholic faith before falling into the sin of heresy.

The distinction is, *having the Catholic faith*, because this is what makes one Catholic. To lose the faith by whatever means is itself a sin because to lose the faith is to not believe in the Church, which is Christ, see John 16:9 (" And when he is come, he will convict the world of sin, and of justice, and of judgment. [9]Of sin: because they believed not in me").

So now you've made up your own position.  Claiming that baptized Prot babies cease to be members of the Church contradicts the once-Catholic-always-Catholic-by-virtue-of-the-Baptismal-character position you've been promoting all this time.

If they formally communicated to the local ordinary of their rejection of the Catholic membership, they can't just simply walk into any confessional. They would need to formally be received by the bishop. Of course, outside of a state of emergency.

They were traditional Catholics, so they had no Ordinary, but if they did, they certainly would not communicate anything to him. And no, your requirement is that they need to be formally received by the bishop, that is not the Church's - as I have posted more than once in this thread already.

And yes, they can simply walk into any confessional the same as they did the previous 50 years. There is no other way for their sin to be certainly forgiven.

Since when does "traditional Catholic" = no Ordinary. Isn't that one of the "R's" in "Recognize and Resist" position?

Yes, Confession is necessary for forgiveness of sins. No one was arguing. In a strict sense, they will need to make a profession of Faith, certainly part of their penance. Doesn't necessarily have be public but once their former friends and acquaintances see them receiving communion, they might be scandalized and their conversion will eventually be made self-evident. And when you do make your rejection formal, this gets marked in your Baptismal records. So, I would think it would take another formal communication with your local ordinary to rectify the record. I know .....this a legalistic point of view and does not impact your membership of the Church.

Have you ever heard of the word "Convert?"

What do you suppose it means?

What I, or anyone else, supposes it means doesn't matter. What the Church teaches matters, and you've rejected that whole cloth by making up your own definition of the state of heretics and now you're trying to make up your own definition of conversion. This subterfuge to get your way is the mark of heresy The Council of Florence was clear, Pope Pius XII in Mystici Corporis was clear, as were all of the Papal and Magisterial teachings I've been quoting.

In all charity, you're a liar, a deceiver and a heretic.

From Denzinger (in case you want to try the whole "Dimondite" fallacy again):

Quote

Pope Innocent III, Eius exemplo, Dec. 18, 1208:
“By the heart we believe and by the mouth we confess the one Church, not of heretics,
but the Holy Roman, Catholic, and Apostolic Church outside of which we believe that no
one is saved.”6
