This is just a typical biased anti Catholicism essay. First of all "sprinkled Catholicism" is called baptism. It's done to infants by parents to bring their children into God's circle. It's also one of the seven sacraments that the denominations don't celebrate. Later on in life a baptized Catholic may choose for themselves whether they truely do desire to follow Christ and live in the truth. That would be the sacrament of confirmation. It sounds like a lot of denominations skip to confirmation but it is a parents duty to encourage and teach their child about God. So why wouldn't you have them go through the baptism ceremony. Now in truth I stopped reading at the "Catholics worship" Mary bit. It became clear that this was just more repeat anti Catholic propaganda that pastors say to keep Christians afraid of Catholics. Mary is not worshipped. She's loved and honoured as the mother of God. She is an intercessor of their prayers. Catholics pray to Mary to deliver their prayers to Christ in a way that they can not. Think of it this way. Humanity could be compared to apple pickers. Our gift to god may be the apples we pick. But there are still bad apples and some that may be unacceptable to present to God. Mary would be the one to come and bake a beautiful delicious pie and present it to her son on our behalf. That's how intersession works. So prayers like the rosary for example isn't us worshipping Mary. In fact the mysteries are focused on the life of Christ. It would us asking Mary to deliver our intentions to God. Now on to the denominations, I think it's still funny that for over 1000 years Catholicism was the only Christian Church till Luther founded the Protestant church. After that everyone got their own ideas to split and reinvent a way to God.
