You’ve fundamentally misunderstood both my testimony and biblical eschatology. The mark of the beast represents economic allegiance to a future totalitarian system, not sacramental participation in any Christian denomination. My critique of Catholicism was epistemological. Ritual without comprehension, not apocalyptic. If you’re going to engage someone’s conversion narrative, at least demonstrate you’ve understood the actual content rather than constructing theological strawmen.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
