Is a child of converts considered a "Child of Record"?

We've had some families baptized in our stake this year and I was starting to say "Child of Record" when referring to their children.
However, I just found this: https://tech.lds.org/wiki/Child_of_record
"A child of record is a child (born to members of the Church) who has yet to be baptized. While the blessing of infants is not a saving ordinance and is not recorded on the Church's records, it is often used as the trigger for recording a birth and creating the new membership record for the child."
I'm getting hung up on "born to members of the Church"... these children were born before their parents were members of the Church... I can still say that they are "Child[ren] of record", though, right?
(Perhaps the wiki could/should be changed to "A child of record is a child (born to members or converts of the Church)"?
Thanks~!
