as the Orthodox in this article do

The article was about Ukrainian Catholics who were offended that their church was described in a document as an "ecclesial community" rather than the correct term -- for a group with valid bishops and valid sacraments -- which is "church".

Call your group anything you like. Don't expect us to endorse your terminology any more than you endorse ours.

Oh, don’t worry. I don’t.

I expect many people will be surprised to see who is in heaven with them and who isn’t. Elitist thinking, presuming “others” are lesser brethren and snobbish exclusivity will cease to exist and what will remain will be shame for such narrow thinking that denies the work of the Holy Spirit and remorse over how many rewards were lost that could have been laid at the feet of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
