Being familiar with the phrase 'Once a Catholic, always a Catholic', we should not be surprised that the Church of Scientology considers all those who have ever done one of their courses to be a Scientologist, and counts them as such even if they have not been in touch with the movement for years - even, presumably, if they are among the movement's most virtiolic opponents. - Eileen Barker {{cite book}}: |first= has generic name (help)CS1 maint: multiple names: authors list (link)
