Fundamental misunderstanding of the reformation. Moreover, Trent anathematized not only protestants and everyone who believes a different soteriology than Catholicism, but also a large majority of nominal Catholics who sit in those pews. I grew up Catholic and have zero ill will towards Catholic people but man... attacking the faith of the person who you asked to marry you without having an understanding of its history seems... interesting.
I genuinely wish you luck and blessings over your potential marriage, but I'd at least have some serious conversations about yalls theological differences and what salvation means. For your marriage's sake, I don't care if you agree or disagree with me, but you ought to be unified on that with your spouse.

To the OP - You do come across as arrogant, lacking in patience and understanding, and just genuinely immature.
This is not to say that you can't change. You're just likely quite young and enjoy certainty a bit too much.
I'll repeat what I said the first time.
You need to figure this out because you know the significance of Roman Catholic marriages as she would have to agree to raise your children in The Church.

There's nothing stopping you from each going to your own church. Sure, it's unconventional but it's better than both of you trying to push the other into doing something they don't want to do.

If you're wondering, this was the OP from 1/6.
Doomed.

Lately, I have been feeling like the Catholic Church has been speaking to me. I have been attending a Protestant church because my fiancé likes it, I think it makes her feel safe. I sit in the chairs, thinking of Christ but I see nothing but a dark room, no windows, no crosses, just a Pastor who filmed the Church giving out meals and a car at Thanksgiving. I listen to Mass everyday in my office, I want to attend a Mass everyday at 12 during my lunch. My Fiancé has told me she and I would be over if I continued. She threw away my Mass guide from EWTN she found in my truck. I cannot convince her otherwise that this is the way to go. I truly believe this is the only way for our family but I will lose her If I proceed.

Disaster waiting to happen if they both take their faith seriously.
What do the kids do?

This whole thread makes me sad. Watching one Christian after another tear down other believers who submit to Jesus in a way that is of tertiary difference to their own. It's sad to see such division in the big C church.

Well, in fairness, most of it is Christian mud slinging at others over things that really don't make a hill of beans worth of difference to whether you'll be saved or not. I'm not sure the OP matters all that much anymore.

There are many paths to God. I'll never tell someone their religion is "wrong" because it's not. I'm very much a practicing Catholic, going every Sunday and every holy day of obligation. I love Jesus, I love my faith, I love the Catholic church though I recognize it's had some transgressions. If you're Jewish, Buddhist, Muslim - these are all paths to enlightenment and to heaven in my opinion.
I know people who go to Healing Place. I make fun of it but it's still fine. Parkview? Episcopal? All fine. Do unto others. Keep God first.

That is pretty much a catholic mass.
And then haul arse out of the parking lot like a scalded dog because 90% of the people at mass don't really want to be there.

As soon as you start introducing perplexity most people get bored and leave.

You're not really a Christian then, you're a universalist. Jesus is extremely exclusive in his methods for how the soul is saved so either he is correct or he is incorrect/lying, which means that it cannot be that Christianity and the other faiths can simultaneously be true.

The irony of someone advocating for a church sitting on BILLIONS of artwork and real estate fortunes trying to talk down local pastors.

For clarity, these are your personal beliefs, correct?
