Were Protestants or Roman Catholics More Successful Converting Natives?

I say the Roman Catholics were more successful converting natives than the Protestants. Why I say this is because the Roman Catholics didn't want to change the Natives way of life, Dale A. Lambert says. Dale A. Lambert also states that the Roman Catholics didn't push for settlers to move out to the Pacific Northwest. According to the Encyclopaedia Brittanica also says that the Roman Catholics sent priests to the native tribes and live with them and teach them. The priests of the Roman Catholics used the "Catholic Ladder", which was a picture book showing the natives the life of Jesus Christ and other bible stories. Also, their ceremonies were more attractive to Native Americans. Finally, they sent people to teach them instead of having the natives come to live near the mission.
