Another term you might hear among lc circles would be "new ones". WOuld that mean new believers? Or new to the local church congregation? Why not refer to new ones as visitors?

What if they have never visited? If your first contact with someone was preaching the gospel and since then they have appeared to be seeking and you have continued to fellowship, and you want to convey that concept in a testimony, that would be how I would understand "gospel contact". But you could also use colleague, coworker, student at school, friend, neighbor, etc. The key difference to me, is that by saying "gospel contact" you surely must have shared the gospel previously and this person must appear to be seeking.
