I think it would also bear on a protestant catechumen, who having found Catholicism, would then be told by a Traditional Catholic to "pray my way." If they converted into the NO they would naturally, by having a protestant mindset, not want to leave the fold of the conciliar church. They wouldn't have to give up almost anything from where they came from.

The Latin mass isn't a preference for us Traditional Catholics. It's truly what God asks for and requires of us. NO are very similar to protestants nowadays cause they have that same mindset of "That works for you and this works for me. Who are you to say that your way is right?"

We people do have herd mentalities... all I know is I want to be with the sheep on His right hand instead of with the goats on His left.

Not disagreeing with you btw. I have heard over and over from my protestant family that they are "happy I found what works for me." I always reply "It would work for you too!" And I think they would convert into the NO if it wasn't for me haha

I don't approach inviting people to consider the TLM as saying to them "pray my way".  I just say "come and see", and focus far more on what is good about the TLM, than pointing out what is deficient about the NOM.  That can come once they become better acquainted with the TLM.  To engage in polemics, to start saying "the Novus Ordo is bad, you need to leave and come to the TLM", will just drive people away.

It's an imperfect world, and you have to meet people where they are, and then bring them to where they should be.  Anything else, in today's world, where people "do what they want to do", is just butting heads.
