8% of current Catholics are ex-Protestants
15% of ex-Catholics are now Protestant (9% evangelical)
Looks like Luther is winning them over...
I don’t know what this table is saying. In any column, what adds up to 100&?
It is now http://assets.pewresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2009/04/fullreport.pdf
And the stats I gave are seen therein on p. 21 (see graphic).
But that graphic only gives the % of US adult population, that 5% of the pop. was raised Cath but are not Prot.
Based on the Pew study cited, http://www.virtueonline.org/hidden-exodus-catholics-becoming-protestants states,
Almost half of those leaving the church become unaffiliated and almost half become Protestant. Only about 10 percent of ex-Catholics join non-Christian religions.
Which is the stat that i think salvation asked about.
