conversions after reformation

[Uggh]

Even after so many years playing EU, there are still details I didn't have to think about so far and thus don't know. Bizarre...
So, my question is, will provinces that normally automatically convert from catholic to protestant after the reformation event still do so, if I first convert them to, say, sunni?
E.g., will Brandenburg still become protestant, even if they are previously turned to sunni or orthodox?

No.

I think they should only convert from Catholic faith to Protestant or Reformist faith. If a province´s religion is something else than Catholic faith then there is no reason to convert to Protestant or Reformist faith.

I only play AGCEEP now and in there it is possible that a protestant province converts to reformist. In AGCEEP, the conversions after Reformation are based on events. It will take years before all the conversions are over. I assume that the conversion events mean only that the religions of certain provinces will change.

Thanks for this short but useful answer.

To flesh it out somewhat, a province's religion is defined in province.csv. If a province will become Protestant when the Reformation occurs then it will be defined in province.csv as Protestant. The game treats provinces defined as Protestant or Reformed as Catholic before the Reformation occurs or Calvin shows up, respectively. If you convert a province this is noted in the save file, and province religion defined in the save file overrides that defined in province.csv.

Certain mods use an event-based alternative that is less predictable, as FD noted above.
