In order for a person to convert to Judaism, a person needs to undergo a formal conversion solicited by the convert-to-be (as proselytization is forbidden). The process of conversion can take from 1 to 6 years of study with a rabbi or other Jewish scholar to learn the faith. He must then go before the Beit Din (Jewish religious court), going to mikvah (a ritual bath for spiritual purification), and circumcision for men. Once someone converts they are AS Jewish as anyone born to a Jewish mother.

There is no reason to consider inter-faith conversions bad.
