I know just as many former Protestants including my hubby, but do you know the difference between the two groups?

Former Protestants don’t spend their time on Political websites slamming Catholic doctrine. They are satisfied to know that they made the right decisions for themselves. God Love them!!!!

Nor do the tell their still-Protestant relatives that they are damned or anything else along those lines.

In my “anecdotal experience” I agree with you about the difference in the two groups.

I believe that is also a significant difference. Of all the converts to the Catholic Church that I personally know, I can’t think of any who did not acknowledge the value of their Christian life before their entrance into the Church. They don’t make it a practice to denounce their Protestant roots. Thank God. They are better Catholics witnesses because of that attitude.
