At first glance that seems metaphysical. Is there a real instance of a 5 Solas/Conservative caucus, or is this a mere 'form' without a material example?

But the more legal side of the question is the intent of the thread starter. We've got something like "mens rea" here. It appears there was never an intention to abide by the rules but rather an intention to exploit the rules to make a point. I think this has been explicitly acknowledged.

I think the original body of the main thread was posted in such a way that the uninformed would believe that this “confession” is consistent with Orthodox beliefs.

The FACT is that this “confession” was completely rejected by the Orthodox on more than one occasion, the Patriarch Lucaris verbally denied writing it (though he never denied it in writing), the style is totally inconsistent with known writings of his. All of this was CLEARLY ACKNOWLEDGED at the the website where the thread was taken from, but was OMITTED when posted here.
