The latter.
Didn't.
I wouldn't call myself that, though I go to mass as frequently as possible, though I do not celebrate the Eucharist, as it would be illicit, plus the dire warning that Paul gives in Scripture to do not eat and drink the Lord's Supper unworthily.
I once a long time ago on this forum identified as a Catholic, but was roundly corrected on thinking that I could just be a Catholic like how someone can be a Presbyterian or a Baptist. You have to actually be received into the Catholic Church to be what we mean by "Catholic" (Text 837), and I have not. I want to be received into the Church, but I want to do it all together with my family.
