For example like with apparitions of Mary if she requests Prayer Penance and Sacrifice be made for the conversion of Sinners what does that mean?

Who are the sinners? Are they backslidden Catholics?
Non Christians? Ect?

What does Conversion mean?

Conversion means leaving a life of sin and turning to the Lord to know, love, and serve Him in this life so that we may be with Him in the next.
 
I would say it means everyone in a state of sin, even those who are devout Catholics who go to confession daily. The second you sin, you need to repent and “convert”.
 
Definitely. If one isn’t Catholic, they have an imperfect relationship with God.
 
The Catholic Church holds the fullness of Faith, true. But what happens between GOD and a fellow human is between them. Just because someone is/ is not Catholic does not mean they have a perfect relationship with GOD.

Sure, merely being Catholic doesn’t mean you have a perfect relationship with God- but surely a practicing Catholic has a more perfect relationship with God than a practicing insert-other-faith-tradition-here? It’s difficult to have a great relationship with someone you don’t fully understand.
 
In theory, yes. But GOD is not limited between Catholics and non- Catholics. HE meets us where we are. That is my opinion. 😊
 
Doesn’t God want what is best for us? And wouldn’t it be best for us to be in the Church He founded and continues to guide, rather than one which broke away? Anything else is imperfect.
 
Which protestant denomination are you refering to? I do not have the answer to that my friend. We are just going to have to pray to the Holy Spirit for unity.
