I don't believe it follows that just because Jesus holds the keys that the spirit prison no longer exists. The reason I say this (at least one of the reasons) is that Jesus visiting it evidently served a purpose. He preached His gospel to the ones who were there.
To me, it seems that a visit would have been unnecessary had they not had to make a decision.
I'm assuming you meant to type "converted" instead of "conversed." I'm curious as to how you see this conversion happening. Are you saying that some little kid living in 6th century China died, instantly and without any real reason or choice in the matter, accepted Jesus and gained a knowledge of His gospel perhaps by osmosis? And this makes sense to you? I mean, if it does, okay, but if that's the case, is there any point at all to our even having to experience mortality?

What point would there have been to Him having done that if they had no choice as to whether to accept or reject it?
Lets look at Gods work in creation via His eyes.
He wanted to create an entities, like Himself, after His likeness......frankly......gods with the lower case g.
Gen_1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:
Adam and Eve, as innocent babes, must navigate intelligently through a world set up for trial.
But how would they do that if they didn't know anything?
Does a baby know anything when first born?
So, God uses the illustration of a tree of knowledge and Adam and Eve partaking of it, as part of the natural order; such as like a new born babies growing up learning about the world around them.
When the time comes for them to exercise their own minds,their independent thinking is when separation
comes or, in other words, become their own gods, akin to Adam and Eve being separated at becoming their own gods, from the garden of Eden. At that point, as like Adam and Eve, became lost.
It was by design it be that way. How else could gods exist as independent gods with a mind of their own?
God understood the consequences and therefore, made plans to save His creation.
Creation was not lost by any fault of humanity, but rather, by Gods creative process.
It was then God's responsibility to save His own creation.
How suppose He proposed to save it...... by mankind's righteousness? NO!
But with God's own righteousness, in the form of a human body, God sacrificed Him.
Babies are angels regardless. Angels are not condemned to hell.
book chapter verse ... or is that your declaration?
