For the Puritans, conversion meant the experience of a profound spiritual transformation in which an individual's heart and mind were turned towards God. It involved a deep sense of conviction of sin, repentance, and a personal encounter with God's grace leading to a new life of faith and obedience. Conversion was seen as essential for salvation and membership in the church.

What did the Half-Way Covenant provide?
The original Puritans had a conversion experience and then became full members of the church. Then they were eligible to get married in a Puritan church, have their babies baptized, and be buried by the church. When their babies became of legal age, they did not have the conversion experiences of the original Puritans. They still wanted to participate in the church rituals. The half way convenient was created for them. They would become church members but not voting church members unless and until they had a conversion experience. They could get married, get their children baptized, and get buried in the church.

The most fervent Puritans believed that the Church of England was corrupt because it did not restrict its membership to visible saints who had experienced conversion?
The main objection among Puritans to the Church of England was the importance it attached to 'the Church, the ministry and the sacraments'. ('Ministry' here means priests and bishops). Puritans didn't like top-down church government and regarded the zest of some Anglicans for ritual as closet Roman Catholicism. Only a minority of Puritans wanted membership of the Church confined to those showing 'visible signs of regeneration (rebirth)'. Even these Puritans were often willing to accept some other members. Many Puritans still hoped for a national church, and that implied a broadly based church. Please bear in mind that there were differences among the Puritans; they were not a monolithic group.
