Retirement tax questions

re statement above : "...For the same reason, you must withdraw your RMD first so you can pay tax on it, before you can convert any of the pre-tax IRA to a Roth IRA. .."

 

Do not understand.

If I do Roth conversion on Monday and then RMD on Friday, there is ZERO tax difference than if I did RMD on Monday and then Roth on Friday. 

 

Right?
