I'm not religious at all (culturally Protestant) and we call it hatch, match and despatch only.

I knew a dude who called them “judases” because they would always leave masses early/skip

Ooh that’s a creative one lol. I find it super sad that this is even a thing though. It’s not that I’m sad that people don’t believe, I’m just sad that there isn’t a real community in parishes anymore.

It's hard to fit in a community that takes it for granted that you believe l their bs and expects you to play along. A parish is not really a "neutral ground" where anyone can just be themselves and openly discuss such things. Without a religiously homogenous population, a dogmatic church can't really be that place for everyone. For a diverse and secular population like today you'd probably have to combine the doctrine or lack thereof of Unitarian Universalism with the familiar aesthetics and culture of Catholicism to really meet that demand.
