I was baptized as a baby and confirmed Catholic but was never really sincere about or my confirmation. I quit considering myself a Catholic around age 15 or so though at 18 I started considering myself a Christian again but wasn't going to church and didn't see a need to reaffirm things. That kind of changed recently. I'm happy I can now take things for myself instead of just something I inherited from my parents.
