And what word would you use to describe those folks who willingly and deliberately maintain communion with the Catholic Church? >I do not feel the desire or the need to >renounce my Catholic tradition of faith in order to be a member of a church >that is not Catholic.

I can see nothing wrong with you being a Protestant who is heavily influenced by his history as a Catholic, and the current Catholic tradition and faith.
