I, of course, think that Orthodox Christians (who think of themselves as Catholics) are members of the Church as I am an Orthodox Christian. Of the others I don’t know as I simply can say where the Church is, not where it is not.I’m not certain how Roman Catholics are defined. For Orthodox Christians it is by baptism into the Church. A member would stay an Orthodox Christian unless they were anathematized though many might no longer self-identify as such. I honestly thought that the same held true of the Roman Catholic Church. I didn’t realize that there were ‘levels’, for a lack of a better term, of Roman Catholicism.
