"Pretend" being the operative word here. Vatican II introduced what was ostensibly intended as charitable language when it referred to Protestants as members of the "Christian community." I don't know how the Orthodox feel, but I doubt its friendlier. I no longer give people the benefit of the doubt; I'll ask questions, I want to know if you're just born and raised in a heretical sect and still hold to Christian teachings; or if you're a capital H Heretic, like the folks in OP.
