In my parish there are quite a number of converts from Reformed, or Presbyterian, background. Where did you all come from?

I was baptized Lutheran as an infant, became a Southern Baptist as a teenager, and embraced the "dark side" for awhile as a Calvinist Presbyterian (and spent a few years as an atheist as a result).
When I came back to Christianity from atheism I went with the Lutheran Church because I regarded it as the "faith of my fathers", who were (on my father's side) German immigrants to Pennsylvania.
I was Lutheran just before our Lord opened my eyes and led me into His Church, so that's what I clicked on.

Should I add an "All of the above" option to the poll?

LOL! 
Maybe so!
I not only belonged to three different Protestant sects, I visited most of the other kinds at one time or another, too.
I was looking for love in all the wrong places . . .
