Have you ever heard of Alex Jones ? Here's a bit of his story. As an evangelical pastor, he set out to refute Catholic "error" for a sermon. He researched and researched, and the deeper he went, the more he could not refute what he found. He gives most of the credit to the Early Church Fathers.
It looks like your mileage varied, but hope springs eternal. :)
I find it hard to believe that anyone who truly and in good faith researches the Early Church Fathers can come away not converting to Catholicism.
Sadly, I've found that Protestantism, especially the more fundamentalist versions thrive on ignorance, not only in its believers of Christian history, but also in cherrypicking the most ignorant of Catholics and selling them a bill of goods wrapped up in a pithy slogan.
