"Never ending fraction" and "Continued fraction" are quote different in standard terminology. Of one thing continued fractions can, and often do, end. it is only when they are for irrational numbers that they do not end.

Every unending continued fraction, at least in the usual sense of continued fractions, may "converge" to a real number, but that does not apply to the expression you presented, at least until you can show that it matches the usual definition of a continued fraction, which it does not appear to do. So that your claim that it must somehow "converge" to some real number requires a proof that you have clearly not provided. --
