"I heard that the reason for some of our friends moving away was to go for RCIA classes -- for conversion to Catholicism.

In my RCIA classes there are quite a few former Presbyterians and Protestants all of whom often comment that they were taught lies about the Church. This is a common theme recounted by RCIA team members from parishes across our diocese and I am sure from across the country.

Have faith that Calvinism is not the "Gates" of Hell, it only looks and acts like it.

There's hope for many yet! Don't worry, Rn, Christ will call you back.

I’m a convert, via RCIA. Converted late in life and was a member of or attended Lutheran, Baptist, Methodist, Church of Christ and Presbyterian over many years.

This is in the South, deep Bible Belt, mostly Baptist territory. I heard the basics of solas versus non solas; but, never anything like the slanders on these threads. I’m currently involved in a multi-year theological seminar with other Catholics and Protestants (Catholics in the minority.) I love the discussions and the people in the group with whom I’ve become very close.

I remain convinced we’re in this forum box with a very unrepresentative sample of Protestant thinking, thankfully.
