I do, however, like the words of Frank Schaeffer in the link you posted of his writing.

"Although Schaeffer uses "converted" to describe the experience, he said he only does so for lack of a better word.
"(Converted) has some judgmental qualities," Schaeffer said in a recent interview from his home near Boston. "'Born-again,' 'I'm saved; you're lost,' but it's nothing like that. (Orthodoxy is) where I find the fullness of experience in Christianity to be for myself. That doesn't mean I feel other people outside that are lost."
