The process by which someone becomes Catholic is called "The Order of Christian Initiation for Adults" (OCIA)
The first stage is called "inquiry" and its title is self explanatory. It is a stage where anyone can come and ask questions of the Church and learn about the basics without any commitment. Once someone discerns that they would like to take a step in seriously discerning the Catholic Church, they move on to the next stage.
The OCIA journey is divided into four periods (Inquiry, Catechumenate, Purification & Enlightenment, and Mystagogy) that respect the individual's journey of faith. If the individual discerns at the end of each period that he wants to move forward, he is received into the Catholic Church on the night before Easter in a liturgy of great celebration!
