Convert
(gcide) | Convert \Con"vert\, n.
1. A person who is converted from one opinion or practice to
another; a person who is won over to, or heartily
embraces, a creed, religious system, or party, in which he
has not previously believed; especially, one who turns
from the controlling power of sin to that of holiness, or
from unbelief to Christianity.
[1913 Webster]
The Jesuits did not persuade the converts to lay
aside the use of images. --Bp.
Stillingfleet.
[1913 Webster]
2. A lay friar or brother, permitted to enter a monastery for
the service of the house, but without orders, and not
allowed to sing in the choir.
Syn: Proselyte; neophyte.
Usage: Convert, Proselyte, Pervert. A convert is one
who turns from what he believes to have been a decided
error of faith or practice. Such a change may relate
to religion, politics, or other subjects. properly
considered, it is not confined to speculation alone,
but affects the whole current of one's feelings and
the tenor of his actions. As such a change carries
with it the appearance of sincerity, the term convert
is usually taken in a good sense. Proselyte is a term
of more ambiguous use and application. It was first
applied to an adherent of one religious system who had
transferred himself externally to some other religious
system; and is also applied to one who makes a similar
transfer in respect to systems of philosophy or
speculation. The term has little or no reference to
the state of the heart. Pervert is a term of recent
origin, designed to express the contrary of convert,
and to stigmatize a person as drawn off perverted from
the true faith. It has been more particulary applied
by members of the Church of England to those who have
joined the Roman Catholic Church.
