That's been my observation also. Whether you go to preach the gospel or to invite ones to receive the gospel, if 10 out of 10 receive salvation it's considered a lost cause if none of them are brought into the local church.
The focus is all wrong. Salvation should be first and foremost. Whether they come into the local church should not be a ulterior motive.
