“Got any stats on that? I’ve never known of this to occur.”
Numerous converts who have given their testimony describe this happening. Not only do some lose their friends, a few lose (or nearly lose) their families.
Many stories are here:

I've never known of this to occur.Never say never. You might want to learn how James White has treated his sister Patty Bonds after she converted as only one example.

Better to be rejected by earthly friends than by God.

Most who become Catholic are rejected by their former friends. Got any stats on that? I've never known of this to occur. Of course, you know full well that there is no way to gather such a statistic. However, if you familiarize yourself with the stories of Catholic converts (they are plentiful on the net) you will see that this is a very common theme, particularly for former Protestant clergy. Surely you are not suggesting that all commentary be confined to the enumerable. That would render most religious discussion illegitimate.
