I asked: Does the Orthodox Church really believe that a pious idolater may possibly be saved, even though he rejects faith in Christ? If so, this is a clear violation of the scriptures.

You replied: I suppose my reply is that we don't know.

What can I say? The scripture is clear on the answer. I'm sorry your church cannot be.

Lay off, don't mock someone's religion. There are thousands of different churches that each interpret those "clear" scriptures in different ways.

I believe that no one DESERVES to be saved but can be saved anyway through the infinite mercy of God, if they'll accept it. And who has perfect faith? In any case, to suggest that justification isn't something intelligent people can disagree on is ridiculous on its face.
