but I have personal experience with a 'Catholic' who doesn't believe in an afterlife

It occurs to me that such a person should behave exactly the same way as an atheist (except perhaps when making bets about isomer concentrations in dinosaur fossils). A god who doesn't treat you differently based on whether you worship him is an irrelevant god!

Isn't part of the catholic belief structure that god occasionally grants prayers?
