Conversion isn't in question. It is what they converted to. It wasn't Judaism, as that did not exist. It wasn't about religion at all. Look at what Ruth said when she joined Naomi.Ruth 1:16That is conversion. Becoming part of the nation of Israel; a subject of Yahweh and all the laws he commanded.
And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God:
You are arguing semantics. You were either Jewish (an Israelite from one of the 12 tribes) or you were goyim. Adonai's covenant existed ONLY with Y'Israel. If you were goyim and you wanted to be in covenant relationship with G-d you had to (if you were male) become circumscribed and begin to keep Torah.
This is what the Acts 15 debate is all about! The men from Judah were saying Goyim's could NOT be saved!
