While it is true that an Orthodox conversion is recognized as valid by all the movements within Judaism, and while it is true that Orthodoxy does not recognize as valid any non-Orthodox conversion, if idk were to convert under Orthodox auspices and then decide to affiliate with a non-Orthodox expression of Judaism, such action would constitute grounds for his conversion to be declared invalid.
Bear in mind that if you convert to Reform Judaism, this will not be considered valid conversion by the Orthodox Jewish Community.
Thank you for pointing that out, but I answered idk's interest in "Reform" when I let him know that Reform conversion would not be recognized by Orthodoxy; being something which he may not have known.
