“Well, then, they’re not being converted then, are they?”

Of course it’s a conversion - a conversion of heart.

“They may be being reconciled, but if they’re already Catholics, they aren’t being converted.”

Technically the same is true of baptized Protestants. If a Lutheran, Episcopalian, Presbyterian, Baptist, etc. becomes Catholic it is a “reconciliation” and not an actual “conversion”. “Conversion” is a commonly accepted colloquial term. Once again we see that you apparently are unfamiliar with basic terms and usages. Don’t you claim to be a former Catholic? I thought you have claimed such in the past, but I must be mistaken because surely no one who apparently is this unfamiliar with basic Catholic things would attack the Catholic faith.

I’m well aware of the word games Catholics like to play by changing the definitions of words and then taking on the superior to thou attitude because others aren’t “in the know” of the latest corruption of the definitions.

It so feeds the spiritual pride of some so they can look down on others who they can deem not as good as themselves.

You’ve been exposed.
