Oh, you are just silly! :)
I find it amusing that people use reports of conversion (either way) to prove their side of an argument correct and to do that while ignoring or calling "nonsensical" conversions from their side to the other. But sadly, they actually believe it.

Mmmm...no, I don't think so.

Maybe they have reason to believe it. I have met a number of Catholics who have left the Faith for whatever sect is out there and yet none of them has ever seemed to know the Catholic faith well. A few simple questions is all it usually took to figure that out. Clearly the Church has done a horrible job catechizing her members over the last few decades. It is the exact opposite, however, when you consider what's involved with Protestant ministers becoming Catholic. They knew their sects' beliefs. They were trained at a professional level. They made their living at teaching and preaching those beliefs. They had to walk away from their jobs, their sects, and often their family and friends when they choose to become Catholic -- and often without any noticeable reward in this life. And to top it off those same men and women often had to overcome their own deepseated anti-Catholic feelings and prejudices in the process.
