No, that would make you a sinner; to be separated from the Church requires a formal excommunication.
One used to be able to apply for "defection"- nice concept- and if done properly (by their standards) one could be then considered Not A Catholic. Excommunication still involves an action of the RCC. Fuck the RCC. Ahriman does have a point about the "spirit" of Catholicism, though. That would be one point in a row, though.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
