I know several. Mostly it’s people unwilling to remain prot but want to stay Christian so they go for the “oldest” one (all of them being Americans also being ignorant of stuff like Armenian orthodox or other rites that go back to early Christianity). I also know a catholic who became east orthodox because that’s the final form of tradcath evolution short of going insane and joining a gnostic cult or something.
Yeah, fairly common for High-Church Anglicans or Lutherans or Orthodox to do so, which is why it's less common in the US where Evangelical and Baptist sects are more common. Even then, you get a few who prefer a more ritualistic form of Christianity.
But it's mostly an individual thing, even the Jesuits don't go door-knocking or stand on street corners, they just come stunningly prepared for any and all potential theology debates.
Are there many Catholic converts? I always thought it was more of something you're just born into, Catholics don't proselytize like the prods.
