Comment on Can I just convert to Judaism tomorrow and get a free vacation to Israel?

It does, but converting is basically the first step. You can simply just accept Jesus as your saviour, you will need to get baptised at some point and participate in communion, but that’s it.

Catholics need communion, not Christians. Even baptism isn’t required in Christianity, Catholicism does require it.

The only requirement is accepting Jesus as your savior. Everything else is merit badges that only deepen your involvement.

  Baptism is a requirement.
  
  ‭Acts‬ ‭2:38‬:
  
  Peter replied, ‘Repent and be baptised, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
  
  ‭Mark‬ ‭16:16‬:
  
  Whoever believes and is baptised will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.
  
  ‭1 Peter‬ ‭3:21‬:
  
  and this water symbolises baptism that now saves you also – not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience towards God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ
  
  So is communion
  
  ‭John‬ ‭6:53‭-‬56‬:
  
  Jesus said to them, ‘Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. [54] Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them.
  
  While you can become a Christian and repentance is the most important step, baptism and communion cannot be neglected.
