SK, I think Kolokotronis and annalex gave you very, very accurate answers about how the Church, in both traditions, approaches seekers: by imitating God. You offer with love with a sincere wish that they would come and stay, but you don't compel.

I don't think the Protestants compel, but they expect people who look to find a match, and so they try to make sure the match is good. It is, like I said, marketplace of ideas.
