I'm waiting/hoping for a truly great deal on those...

recommendation for where to start?
Can't do "in Logos" because Logos doesn't have the resource (understandably). But the most-used textbook for beginning Latin for the past couple generations is Wheelock's Latin. It's pretty inexpensive on Amazon. (In fact, it is free on Kindle at random times, I think.)

Also, there is no expiration, again provided you maintain your membership.

My own experience was Wheelock's as the base in college, followed by courses on particular authors (Cicero, Horace, Ovid, etc). I had little working vocabulary after these, but could very slowly trudge through a text with a dictionary and grammar at hand.
After grad school I taught high school Latin for four years. I used Lingua Latina, Familia Romana and was amazed at how drastically my own facility improved. Daily reading from this book (and others in the series) expanded my vocabularly and ability to really "read" (not just dissect or translate) Latin. I'm not sure how well the Lingua Latina set translates to Logos format (the marginal pictures / notations are the key to this series), but I heartily recommend it as a great place to start.
My two cents.
I am possibly interested in learning Latin, at least to work with some basic Christian vocabulary....
What kind of Christian vocabulary?
The Gospels in the Clementine Vulgate?
The Old Testament in the Nova Vulgata?
St. Augustine's Confessions?
St. Thomas Aquinas's Summa Theologiae?
Gregorian chant?
The Latin of the (pick any) Missale or Breviary?

Just start reading and enjoy! One can figure out the meanings of the words like a sleuth ...

does anyone have any recommendation
Latin was the first foreign language I studied (required in my school). Your question just brought back nightmares of rote memorization. At least this class put it to music.

If you are looking for something like Mounce you will have to wait for Derek Cooper's "Basic of Latin: A Grammar with Readings and Exercises from the Christian Tradition" which is currently in production.
Logos does offer at least two other introductory courses:

I know it is not Logos but you can also use the Duolingo app (though Latin is not the best course available): https://community.logos.com/forums/t/185536.aspx (I notice you already replied in this thread so this is probably old news to you).
