I live in a reality where the topic of sedevacantism is practically unknown. I do have a few friends who are belive in God, but they are all in the Novus Ordo. I'm wondering how to tell such people that I am a Catholic faithful to tradition without risking a reaction like "if you don't recognize Francis, you're not a Catholic and you believe in some sect." Is it even possible to do this without going into theological details? What I want is for such a person to see me as a Catholic, not someone who "chooses what to believe." It is known that sometimes social conversations can turn to various topics, including religion, and it is worth letting the people I talk with to know that I am a sedevacantist and that it means that I am 100% Catholic, without giving them a lecture on theology. I'm not a good conversationalist, so maybe one of you has some ideas?

Live your life. If people want to know what animates you, you can tell them.
I don’t tell people that I hold the sedevacantist position. I tell them I’m Catholic. If I determine they are capable and wanting to hold a conversation without being scandalized or immature, I may discuss the crisis with them. Usually, I do not. I don’t want to be associated with sedevacantists for the most part. Most present company excluded, I tend not to like them and do not like the way they conduct themselves. I don’t think it is necessary to bring up these issues due to the fact that they are scandalous to simple souls and there is no authority to settle controversy.
