    • Are there any saints that converted to Catholicism from Judaism? I did some web searches and nothing really turned up. The only Jєωιѕн convert that turns up is Edith Stein. I just assumed there would be a lot more.

    I believe you ought to refer to her by her Chrisitian name - Sister Teresia Benedicta.

    • While not a canonized saint, Fr. Hermann Cohen comes to mind.

    "There's a mix of passion and shortsightedness in me, even when I'm positive that I'm doing my very best to see things for what they are, that warns me that I'll never know for sure. Undoubtedly I must follow the truth I can see, I have no choice and I must live on; but that is for me only, not to impose on others." - Fr. Leonardo Castellani

    St. Longinus
    St. Longinus was a Roman soldier, and thus most likely a pagan, not a Jєω, when he converted.

    • A vast majority of all the original disciples, and all of the first apostles. 

    There is some belief that St Teresa of Avila came from a Jєωιѕн family.

    Then there are the thousands of unknown Jєωs who converted to the Catholic Church.

    It's possible that the intention of Baptism of Desire is for those Jєωs who are followers of Christ but keep it to themselves to keep their family and loved ones from disowning them.
