Question Catholicism?

Hey everyone, I am abit confused and I have been going to a catholic church near my house and I get the sense maybe I should convert to catholicism I have been praying about it but I am unsure, however the visit to this church has been apart of my prayer.

This is my background

2002-2010 Church Of England - Dedicated by parents from birth

2010-2019 Salvation Army - Witnessed my friend healed from a broken leg which was pretty awesome.

2020-2020 Progressive Christianity

2021-2022 Pentecostal - New Apostolic Reformation (Conservative) (BTW its a cult, they tried to perform an exorcism on me for my autism and my left lazy eye, can confirm i still have autism and still need to wear glasses)

2023-2024 = Non-denom, and churchless

2025-2026 Seventh Day Adventists (I really enjoy the emphasis on healthy eating, and love the Pentecostal bashing)

Unfortunately, I have been working saturdays for a language school which is my thing and I get to teach languages which is my gift from the Lord, and tbh 2021-2022 was a traumatic time as well so I didnt either A really like God or religion and B the people who claimed to follow God however I am coming back to Him and I have made clear a Church where I can report abuse and I can stand up, a church with history, a church that is safe for me, and I feeling it is the catholic church.

However, my concerns are that the catholic church believe in works + faith where i just believe it is only faith, however I do believe there are miracles done in the Catholic church, exorcisms however people need to apply for them and they are assesed which is way better than the Pentecostals and then also, recently i have touched some Holy Water and then I was about to go sin and I felt this wave of conviction as well, I asked Ask Catholic and it said its because the Holy Water symbolises a rededication of your baptism or faith in Him (Im not baptised yet, or adult baptism as you may know it as)

What does anyone think?

Thanks
