"There are demons and there are fallen angels and they are not the same thing."

Semantics at best.

There is only light and dark, evil and righteousness, there is no middle ground. A fallen angel can only be on/from the dark side, same as a demon.

(Similar to that is a person is either "alive in Christ" or "dead in their sins" - there is no other realm.)

“Semantics at best.”

Nope. You implied they were the same thing. And don’t try to fog up the mistake with theological deflections.

_______________________________________
How do you know that the as yet undefined is evil? Until we know otherwise we should presume that as God’s creation all is good. Remember, God created the heavens and the earth - that includes the entire ever expanding and outward accelerating vast universe - all that is. Lucifer and his demonic band of angels were also created as good, but this arrogant angel and his followers rebelled believing themselves superior to God and they were cast out of heaven to earth - not elsewhere in his vast universe. We must deal with Lucifer’s evil here on earth as it manifests itself through his earthly minions. That’s why the world is in such disarray and that’s why we need to seek strength from the Good Lord every day to face the evil.
