+'''Conversion''' is the process by which a person decides to become Orthodox, as opposed to being brought up in the Orthodox faith from childhood. Such a person becomes an informal [[inquirer]], then a formal [[catechumen]] before being brought into the church.
 A '''convert''', someone who has undergone conversion, may have any non-Orthodox background, including no religious beliefs (i.e., atheism), non-Christian religious beliefs (e.g., [[Islam|Muslim]], Buddhist), or non-Orthodox or heterodox Christian beliefs (e.g. [[Roman Catholic Church|Roman Catholic]], [[Protestantism|Protestant]]).
