Those interested in converting to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) will first be 'investigators' of the Church.

When an 'investigator' decides that they would like to convert, they may request baptism.
Following baptism, they will officially be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - a Mormon!
