Category name?

edit

Personally I am not comfortable with these kinds of categories being called "Converts to ...". I appreciate, however, that this is the term which people still, colloquially, generally use for someone who moves from one Christian tradition to another one - but there has been an intentional move at official levels in recent times to reserve the word "convert" for someone who either changes religions (Buddhist to Christian, for example) or becomes a member of a religion without any previous religious allegiance. So I'm wondering whether some other terminology for these categories is possible without being too long and cumbersome - any thoughts? Anglicanus (talk) 10:32, 8 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
