Catholic missionaries:
1 Base
1 DotF
1 Religious Ideas
1 Jerusalem
1 Mecca
1 Norwegian Monument
1 parliament reward (must not take Humanist)
2 Embrace the Counter Reformation (temporary)
So 6 reliable and 3 part time.
For colonies, they get no penalties from heretics or heathens, so they generally don't convert. In the subjects tab there should be an option to disable promote settlement and leave the province free to convert.

Oh i see thank you. Was just thinking what parliament reward is.. I guess its English parliament? Anyway took me 20 years to convert the all the provinces. Like what you said disable promote settlement helps. (I remember in 1.30 it's not working...) But the thing that I found out is that you need it to be "Crown Colony" first before the option "disable promote settlement" appear. I can't find the option if the colony is Free Entreprise. Also there's this thing of "increase Religous Control" which sorta makes the colonies convert their provinces, it helps but they don't convert as much as i want. With all the updates with the monuments and religious changes, do you know which religion gives the most missionaries/missionary stregths?
Im not 100% sure but I think every religion gets +1 missionary from Monuments.
However Im quite certain Sunni gets the most Missionary Strenght from monuments.
+3 Missionary Strenght from Tikrit (Iraq)
+3 Missionary Strenght vs Heathens & +1 Missionary from Jenne (Songhai)
+1 Missionary Strenght from London (Stonehedge).
+2 Missionary Strenght from Kutaraja (Pasai)
+3 Missionary Strenght vs Heretics from Jerusalem
For Missionaries... Probably Najd into Mughals is the best.
1 Base
2 National Ideas
1 Assimilate Somali Culture
1 Defender of the Faith
1 Jerusalem
1 Religious Ideas
1 Jenne
1 Meccah + Medina
1 Rome
1 Parliament?
So thats 11. I think thats max.

If you are ahead on the conquest game, you might be able to crush one of your own colonies by letting it go and declaring on it. From there, you could either release a country that still has cores, or use client states.
Client states use the same idea groups you have these days, so you can also use them. Simplest would be to move your cap to new world so you can immediately make them there, rather than doing transfer occupation shenanigans. Bermuda should suffice, you can then make them in NA and give them land in SA too without them making colonial nations.
Note that in OP's case, this isn't necessary (as OP discovered). As long as you average 6 conversions per year, you can directly convert 283 provinces in 47.167 years, so even such a relatively paltry rate (by EU 4 standards) would get the job done. For religions like Christianity/Islam, 1 province per year per missionary on average is trivial, and significantly faster is possible.

You can give your colonies a religious focus in subject interactions and they will convert provinces for you (albeit slowly).
English Parliament or any nation that picks the Parliament reform.
When you play the pope you can get one in your mission and one in your gov refform too (i guess all theocracies can get this one). It may be the best catholic country for conversion/play religious.
But in your case, other members gave you the answer ^^
