It’s amazing to me the number of “poorly catechized” ex-catholics who speak of being convicted by the Holy Spirit.

As compared to the number of poorly catechized Protestants who swim the Tiber?

No, as opposed to the number of lost souls who have ignored the convicting of the Holy Spirit in favor of works and wafers for salvation.

As compared to the number of "former" Catholics who have also swum the Tiber in the other direction"?

"Catholicism has experienced the greatest net losses as a result of affiliation changes. While nearly one-in-three Americans (31%) were raised in the Catholic faith, today fewer than one-in-four (24%) describe themselves as Catholic."
