What would you consider yourself now, spiritually, if not Catholic?

(checks notes on Christian theology)
Yup.
(Actually, I don't know how promptly they reckon fallen Christians will be revived.)

This is a very common stance in the Roman Catholic Church. The concept of “faith and reason” as two sides of the same coin both leading to truth is a pretty major teaching in the church these days.

Perhaps you're conflating faith with religion.
Faith being "confidence, trust or belief in a thing , person or concept, sometimes in the absence of proof"
Not to be confused with "blind faith" which is the above but with wilful ignorance or dismissal of proof that contradicts the aspect of the faith.
Also not to be confused with "religion" which is the social construct or organisation around a central faith.
You can have faith without religion, but you can't generally have a religion without faith.
