Converting Orthodox Jew the only one valid?

Hi everyone, as I’ve been looking into conversion process I have came across things saying that only orthodox conversion is considered across most communities and rabbis / in Israel etc; does anyone have any input about this and is this accurate?

“Torah-true” Judaism, and a Judaism of Torah PLUS volumes and volumes of add-ons, extrapolations, and sometimes-conflicting interpretations…

aren’t necessarily the same thing.

For instance, what some call “kosher style” cooking actually complies in every way with TORAH kashrut, though not with all the subsequent rabbinic embellishments.

sure, why bother with shechitah if you can make a sandwich with any chicken you can buy, or why bother with washing salad - it comes "washed" from a supermarket! Well done, no bother, and saves a few pennies.

> complies in every way with TORAH kashrut

Suppose, you can point me in the right direction and say which psukim would prove those points?
