What is the conversion process for becoming Catholic?

Acts 2:38-39

38 But Peter said to them: Do penance, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins: and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 39 For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all that are far off, whomsoever the Lord our God shall call.

Matthew 28:19-20

19 Going therefore, teach ye all nations; baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world.

Mark 16:16

16 He that believeth and is baptized, shall be saved: but he that believeth not shall be condemned.

Catholic view (generated):

The conversion process to become Catholic typically involves undergoing a period of instruction and formation in the teachings, rituals, and practices of the Catholic faith. This usually culminates in the reception of the sacraments of initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist) for those who have not already received them. Conversion is ultimately a personal and spiritual journey of faith, repentance, and commitment to living out the teachings of Jesus Christ as understood in the Catholic tradition.
