What folks put in the census is locked away for a century & therefore of little consequence in the scheme of things.

Latest available census for Ireland is 1911- which could easily include people married in 1920s/1930s. When looking at Irish census records it's important to compare both 1901 and 1911 as it's not uncommon, for various reasons, to see different religions from one to the other.

Perhaps for the  safety of the child.

Religion was changed

To suit the times.

In what way would the child be safer?

Being a Presbyterian or RC excluded a child from university, inheriting land, getting an army commission etc. Irish Presbyterians crossed to Scotland for an education & Scotland of course had its own penal laws against non-conformists, Episcopalians for example!

This is about the 1920s and 1930s though which is a puzzling setting for "Catholics pretending to be Protestants in Ireland".
