Rashi's father merited to have Rashi because he was a gem dealer and the king wanted his most expensive one for an idol, so he brought him to the middle of the lake to see it in the "proper" light and "accidentally" threw it to the bottom. If he is making a real teshuva here out of love for Hashem and not fear than all his averot will turn into mitzvot instead of nothing and this will be a serious person. The Noachide movement may benefit from one like that. For now he's on the Catholic thing, good that it makes him leave sin but better he learn truth on how to perfect the details of his world.
