It takes only will, to start believing at least with the mind. One may arguments against faith, but the will to believe belongs only to the persona. He can believe, or not, is his decision. And since anyone can decide it, anyone can be included in the perimeter of parishioners: Catholics are open to new members. Actually the quest of the apostles was to announce good news. If you like good news, you can be a candidate.
It doesn’t mean that anything we believe will become true. Also believing with the mind, and with all the heart is different. One may say with words “I believe”, and deep in the heart he doesn’t.
This is the starting point, the first step, a decision of a free will. Mary, and even Abraham out stand because of this first step that brought the Lamb to all humanity, starting from faith. I will underline: knowledge is not necessary, nor abilities, nor money, or strength. We don’t need to be smart, nor to have studies.
This humble start, triggers a series of new happy decisions. Good luck! 🤞
