# Had no religious beliefs (i.e. atheism)# Had non-Christian religious beliefs (e.g. Muslim, Buddhist)# Had non-Orthodox or heterodox Christian beliefs (e.g. Roman Catholic, Protestant)
and decided to become a Orthodox Christian. In the later case, the individual may be received in the church by [[chrismation]]. In the two former cases, individuals would be received by [[baptism]].
