Of coure, we also have here the Church fo Boatbums where Boatbums defines what doctrines that are defintive.
And then of course there is HarleyD, and the Church of HarleyD who defined what doctrines are defintitive.
So what? Salvation is not based on acceptance of or adherence to church doctrine, any church doctrine because churches don't save and belonging to a church doesn't save and agreeing with some particular church's doctrinal positions doesn't save.
It's JESUS who saves.
Another misunderstanding Catholics have is the nature of the church. It's not an organization Christ established.
The true church is an organism, not an organization. Because bb and HD have put their faith in Christ alone for salvation, they are part of the body of Christ, on HIS say so, not ours. All anyone has to do is read Scripture to learn that believers are part of the body of Christ. we're not part of the body because we say so but because God tells us in His word that believers ARE part of Christ's body. We just believe it and accept it.
That is exhibiting faith, believing that what God has told us and what He said is true really IS true.
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

Thanks for that theological statement from the Church of Metmom. Of course, as you are well aware, I reject the theological statements from the Church of Metmom.
