Get a new catch phrase. You're not as insightful as you think you are.

How is this evenue an issue? My DH would feel foolish after asking this twice. I'd be direct and to the point. The second time I'd be so crystal clear there would not be a third, and if he tried a third time I'd be worried he might be suffering alzhhimers.

You must be pussy footing around the issue. Grow a pait and your problem will go away.

x2. And the Alzheimers comment gave me a good laugh.

What's his reason for wanting you to convert?

I'm not trying to be insightful. This shouldn't be a problem. It's pathetic.

He had bought into the marketing and fear. Her DH is worried for her soul.

And you are? I thought her comment was very insightful and dead on.

Why is religion non negotiatable? Nothing is stupider than two christians going to different Christian services on sunday.

OP: this, pretty much.

His focus shouldn't be on what church, but what you believe. Don't both denominations believe that God sent Jesus to this world to live among us and to die for our sins? If I understand correctly that is a core belief for these faiths. So you're both on the same page whether or not he realizes it.

I don't think pushy people get into heaven.

If I were in this situation, I think I'd alternate services. I think it's nice to get different perspectives. Going to the same church week after week can get boring.

Please post the text of your marriage vows, then I'll tell you what to do.

Maybe afraid his parents will write him out of their will.

OP has already changed religious several times, all very similar ways of worshipping Jesus. DH is a steadfast Catholic. They have kids and an otherwise happy marriage. I think OP should convert, or at least alternative services.

Conversion and alternating services are very different requests. Asking someone to periodically attend your religious service is a reasonable marital compromise, asking them to actually *convert* is a whole other level. I don't get the impression from OPs posts that merely attending Catholic mass will be enough for her husband.
