And yeah, Lutheranism is like laid-back Catholicism.
I've been to Baptist churches that require "training" as part of membership, Something along a 4-week Sunday School taught by the pastor. The Pastor talks about responsibilities of membership, the church's vision, and what it means to be a Christian.
I have also been to churches that have invitations at the end of service. You can become a member through simple transfer of membership from another church, public profession of faith (If you state you have already been Baptisted), or through profession of faith and Baptism.
I always preferred the latter, as I have always held it is a personal relationship.
