We prove that if Ω is a simple convergence set for continued fractions K(an/bn), then the closure of Ω is also such a convergence set. Actually, we prove more: every continued fraction K(an/bn) has a “neighbourhood” where rn>0 and sn>0, with the following property: Every continued fraction from {n} converges if and only if K(an/bn) converges.
