The Protestants most likely to become Catholic are Lutherans, Anglicans and Presbyterians.

Which makes sense because these religions are closer in liturgy theology and historical development to Catholicism than non-denominational evangelicals.

Surprisingly though among Eastern Orthodox who switch religions, they are more likely to become non-religious or Protestant than to become Catholic.

In fact, if someone switches from a non-Christian religion to a Christian religion they are much more likely to become Protestant than Catholic.

This may be due to evangelistic Protestants focus more on the fundamentals of the faith and outreach to non-Christians like atheists, Muslims and Mormons whereas evangelistic Catholics tend to focus on Catholic distinctives and outreach to Protestants.
