Contemporary, i’m also talking about a girl who is around 15-16 years old
 
Nah, i’m settled Christian cause i thought of her as already baptized and somewhat familiar with Jesus and such, but quite unused to things like the Eucharist, Incense, Marian devotions, confession etc
 
I’m not sure how they relate, but I do know the modern Anabaptist descendants are kind of radical and isolationist. Like the Amish and Mennonites. They stripped down things to the point of not even engaging society (not the modern Mennonites though).
 
They are also very conservative. No drinking, no dancing, etc.
 
Wow, that kinda takes them off place, i believe i’d be left with Presbyterian or Methodist
 
I’d go with Methodist… since they’re about as “mainline”/liberal as Prebyterian, but without the old liturgical holdovers and infant baptism. They still have doxologies, the preachers still have somewhat “light” vestments, etc… edit: I mean Presbyterians have these. Methodists less so.

I’m not as familiar with Freewill Baptists, I can tell you Southern Baptists do not drink or dance or chew and do not run with girls who do.
 
UMC does allow infant baptism


Why Baptize Babies?
From the earliest times, children and infants were baptized and included in the church. As scriptural authority for this ancient tradition, some scholars cite Jesus’ words, “Let the little children come to me…for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs” (Mark 10:14). However, a more consistent argument is that baptism, as a means of grace, signifies God’s initiative in the process of salvation. John Wesley preached “prevenient grace,” the grace that works in our lives before we are aware of it, bringing us to faith. The baptism of children and their inclusion in the church before they can respond with their own confirmation of faith is a vivid and compelling witness to prevenient grace.
 
Hmm, then i guess methodist it is, i’ll go google methodists to catholic conversion stories for more context, thanks all
 
Even UCC permits infant baptism http://www.ucc.org/worship_baptism

Thing is, low churches tend to be socially very conservative where the less conservative tend to allow infant baptism, have more of a liturgical feel (heck, the UMC recites the Nicene Creed and has Marian hymns in hymnals).
 
Yeah, i noticed when googling metodists they had a bit more liturgical feel than mainline evangelicals
 
I’d suggest reading that UMC website very closely, in addition to conversion stories. Knowing the source material well is what gives you believable characters and not caricatures.
