“FACT: Each year, the Mormon church baptizes 300,000 converts. (That’s 800 a day—or another million every three years.) Half are former Catholics.”

Is that in the US or worldwide?

And are we talking about actually living, breathing people?

Baptism for the Dead is a vicarious gift and we in the Temporal world have no say over those on the other side of the vail if they accept the gift or not!

So the conversion would be those living and breathing here on earth!

The numbers are suspect.

But whatever the true numbers are, it is worldwide. Mostly in poor countries where the majority of converts fall away within 2 years.
