Hi. I'm fairly new player, I did my first faith reformation using slovianskan. The empire at the time was already fairly large and all but 1 of my vassals supported the reofrmation. However the vast majority of my territory remained with the old version of the faith - is that normal? Seems strange considering there's no way to convert a large territory by a councillor spending a decade or two per county.
Counties not converting to reformed faith

We have updated our Community Code of Conduct. Please read through the new rules for the forum that are an integral part of Paradox Interactive’s User Agreement.
Only the capitals of each character ever convert when changing faiths (and not always, like demanding conversions, but it sounds like those exception don't apply). This means that depending on how much land each vassal controls you can end up with lots of unconverted land.
But this will be easier to convert than you suppose as it's not just your council that will try to convert the land. Any vassals that are of your faith will try to convert the territories under their control too. And the AI is pretty good about assigning their court priest to do this task. Thus I'd recommend trying to use your priest to convert land you directly control first and then can use them to mop up any lands your vassals haven't converted yet.
Also note that this is all on purpose, a realm changing faiths is not something that happened over night and so this is the games way of representing older traditions hanging around, sometime for multiple generations.
Anyways, hope you have fun with your new reformed faith

the vassal's capital converted only if its faith is same as the vassal, and only when the liege creates a faith or the liege convert to a faith himself.
for demand conversion, I think the province never change, can only wait the vassal use his council task to convert it.
in the scripted effect used in demand vassal conversion: demand_conversion_vassal_ruler_interaction_effect,
it checks if the capital's faith is same to the vassal, and sets a variable convert_capital = yes,
but not only the variable is never used, it checks after change the vassal's faith, so it is checking if the new faith is equal to the capital....
maybe it is an idea they dropped when develop, or maybe something everyone used to ....

I only started playing recently, but I read somewhere that the game used to convert the lands when you demanded conversion. There are still online guides out there giving this as a tactic to use for converting lands. It was changed in an update at some point.
