Their problem, and my problem with them, is that they no longer believe many, many parts of the Bible. However, instead of coming out with their “new and approved by censors” version, they just don’t mention those parts.

It’s very confusing for anyone who wants to read the Bible on their own. But I suspect that is their intent.

I think I understand why. They aren't saved. They do not have the Holy Spirit and consequently cannot accept the truth. I take this understanding from scripture:

20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. 21 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth. (1 John 2:20,21)

And...

27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. (1 John 2:27)

Our supernatural response to the truth of scripture, enabled by the Holy Spirit, should be acceptance of the truth. Because these sodomite enshrining false prophets do not accept the truth, this leads me to conclusion that they do NOT have the Holy Spirit and are consequently not saved.

All believers have the Holy Spirit. This is taught in Ephesians 1:

13 In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of His glory. (Ephesians 1:13-14)

There are many unsaved people in the apostate denominations, catholicism and its "daughters" (e.g. Church of England).
