You can get away with the first part (it's not just the Shahada, it's literally the first sentence of the Nicene Creed.) but Man is, definitionally for a supposed Catholic, God. ("he was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became Man.") you're literally supposed to genuflect on that line. She's heard this every week since childhood!
None of these assholes are Christian, they neither embrace the "Low Christianity" of charity, humility and forgivness, nor the "High Christianity" of the Logos and the nature of the Divine because none of these people can read or, apparently, listen in mass.
Nitpick, I don't think MTG has ever claimed to be Catholic. She says her denomination is "Christian Nationalist" which is incoherent, and the church she regularly attends is one of those "Non-denominational Charismatic" megachurches. She's just an evangelical who doesn't know enough to understand it in those terms.
She grew up Catholic, iirc
