Right on! If these folks are not near death, then why not convert if one is so desirous of communion? All the fine points are used by some to push the heresy of indifferent-ism.

It all seems more emotional than anything else.

I agree.  At the same time, I wouldn't rule out a true spiritual conversion beginning either.  In that case, it becomes a matter of whether or not our fallen nature's grip is too tight [responsibility lies solely with the individual] to permit one to act, and do what it takes to come to Jesus in the proper way... the way He showed us.  Impatience, sloth surely aren't virtuous, and they come from the opponent in the battle.
