I believe that is the point of using the term. You will seldom see (if ever) a Wicca/Druid/Gaia follower attempt to convert someone to the path. You are unlikely to have someone of Nature worship....come right out and tell you they bow down before trees. By having such an undefined label for us all....we create an opening for conversation that someone can use to explore these directions for a path, but they need to be truly interested to decide to use this opening.
I myself have allowed this four times in my life....and three of those left the fold of a church to seek something else. One is torn when that happens....conversion bieng one of those things that really turns me off from most religious people. Paganism is not a religion, but a spiritual walk away from dogma. It is not for most people, and cares not how many are "Saved".
