Join a different church, I like Southern Baptist.  
We all sin, therefore we are all sinners.  Since God is absolutely holy, He cannot be in the direct presence of sinful creatures. Therefore, all who are sinful must be separated from God and cannot be allowed to enter into His home (Heaven). Hell is the place where these people must go, away from the presence of God.  But God loves us and does not want everyone to go to Hell so he sent Jesus Christ to suffer and die on the cross as payment for our sins.  After 3 days in the grave Jesus overcame death and rose from the dead and walked among men being seen by hundreds of people.  In order to receive this gift from Jesus Christ we must make him our Lord and Savior.

Have you still got your gun and badge? If so, then you're still on the team. If you never got a gun and badge, they lied to you.

Yes, though some local churches won't regard you as a member of THEIR church if you aren't a regular and active attendee and a donor.  You couldn't necessarily get married in just any C of E church, even though you're a member of the Church at large.

Don't worry: they're not going to come after you in some way.  The UK is full of people who were christened and confirmed but are non-practicing.  The C of E doesn't do anything about it.  It can't.
