"Your desire to grow closer to God is truly admirable, and everyone goes through a personal spiritual journey in search of truth. If you feel that Orthodoxy brings you closer to Him, that’s your choice — it does emphasize the ancient apostolic tradition, the sacraments, and a life centered on worship, repentance, and communion with God.

But it’s also important to remember that despite the differences between Orthodox, Catholic,  (or Latin) traditions, we are all believers in Christ, and we worship Him as our Lord and Savior. That shared faith is what truly unites us. What matters most is a sincere heart and a genuine relationship with God — not just a label or denomination."
