It's funny, I joined in 2006 and used to post here all the time but I haven't been on this site in years. I randomly got the idea to check TAW today and I saw this thread. I also just had my 10-year chrismation anniversary (St. John of the Ladder, 2008).

There is no obligation to convert at the end. That being said, if you get far along in the classes and still have doubts I think it would be polite to tell the priest your feelings so he isn't caught off guard if you appear to be ready and then suddenly decide not to convert at the end of the...
