    Catholicism is the One True Faith and a person can know this with certainty by reciting the rosary every day with care.

    Obviously not. Accepting truth requires a change of heart. Fear might cause someone not try and fake it, but that wouldn't make anyone Christian.

    You cannot force someone, if they do not truly believe, they are not saved.

    That is called "duress" and it doesn't count. No one can be held responsible for what they do or say under duress. This is a tactic used by Islam. I could be persuaded to worship Allah if I had a gun to my head or my children's heads.

    It's a very good way to get people to SAY they've converted to your religion.

    Conversion at sword point didn't convert the first generation, but it certainly did wonders for converting the children of the fake converted.

    Conversion at sword point historically didn't do a lot for the first generation besides have them go through the motions, but it slowly caught the religion on with subsequent ones.
