Let's not pretend that mainliners agree internally either. We've had no end of people who either fail to accept or flat our refuse the catechism, despite being catholics. We've got the snakeman without a soul and monkeyman with a soul theories of original sin...and we have no -idea- how many personal jesi are bouncing around in each of your heads. We watch you disagree with each other without ever addressing each other...even when your varying and contradictory viewpoints present themselves in the same thread.
Such is the nature of your "agreement", majority, minority, or anywhere in between...regadless of which one of you is a true christian, if there is such a thing, or if any of you are such a thing. I can only reiterate what I already said. To claim that you're all, at least, christians (that there's some common thread).....while disagreeing on the very nature of christ..is to say nothing at all.
What you describe isn't my experience or belief; and you do have to have orthodoxy, in order to be heterodox. Orthodoxy isn't simply what I believe, nor may all my beliefs are correct. I've learned a lot, and I'm sure that I have more still to learn. And I would not claim that all who profess to be Christians are worthy of that description based on what they believe (and such vast disagreement on the very nature of Christ would traditionally move past heterodoxy, and more into apostate).
As to disagreeing with each other, but not addressing. I didn't come here primarily to discuss theology, and frankly with the attitude and maturity of some of the more vocal posters here, I don't care to.
