I am currently a permanent US resident (green card), and would like to apply for US citizenship. The Guide to Naturalization describes the final steps of the process as "Return your Permanent Resident Card; Take the Oath of Allegiance; Receive your Certificate of Naturalization".
Upon receiving the certificate of naturalization, I intend to apply for a US passport, but, until I get the passport, I will have no Permanent Resident card to use as entry criteria to return to the US when travelling.
Will I be able to use the Certificate of Naturalization to re-enter the US?
Thanks, in advance, for your advice.
Can I travel with a Certificate of Naturalization?

Can I travel with a Certificate of Naturalization?
Forgot to add a few details regarding my concerns with the timing of the process: As I write this, it is mid-May. I will need to travel to Canada in October of this year (2009). If all goes well with the naturalization process, I might have a certificate of naturalization by October, but, I doubt I will be able to get a US passort, as well, by October.
