As I've mentioned, our family attends a Methodist Church and a Catholic Church. I am Methodist, my husband, though a member of our Methodist Church, considers himself Catholic. Our son prefers the Methodist Church, and is involved there in Sunday school and other activities. As a family, we more or less alternate which church we go to, and that seems to work for everyone.
My husband's cousin is going to seminary to become a Priest. When I told my son about this, his eyes lit up and he said "Oooh! Where will he work when he's done?" I told him that the cousin wouldn't know until he was done. He eagerly said "Maybe he will work at {our Methodist Church}!" I said that he would not, since Priests are Catholic, he would be working at a Catholic church, so maybe he would work at {Catholic church that we attend}. I assumed this would warrant a pleased response, since he could still be working somewhere that we go, but instead I got a disappointed "Oh. Why can't priests work at a Methodist Church?" Then came a discussion and Priests and Pastors and Reverends.
Hubby and I told the cousin about this, and he thought it was funny. I jokingly told him that our son wouldn't convert for him, but if he wanted to consider converting... The cousin laughed and said "I guess you never know."

Adorable!
Aww. Your kid is adorable. But I like how even in his adorableness he learns stuff. I mean, all kids are like that and it's great. Everybody wins.
I remember being very confused by all the religious nomenclature as a child. I once asked my mother if Baptists were Christians, and she had to laugh for a while before she could answer. (For the record, she was raised Baptist, was never comfortable, and happily became a Methodist when she married my dad.)
