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.

    2. A lay friar or brother, permitted to enter a monastery for

    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.
