That catechism is not Lucas's but Philaret's. You are mixing apples and oranges. No Orthodox follows that 19th c. Catechism, at least not as far as Philaret's assertion concerning OT canon is concerned. Like Cyril Lucas, and numerous heresies before him, it was short-lived.
I expect to see Cyril at the Judgment Seat of Christ (Rom.14:10) which is for saved people. I expect many from the Orthodox faith who read and believed what he taught in his Catechism will be there as well
So being saved is now tied to a paritcular Protestant sect (Calvinism), or (Pharisaical version of the) Jewish canon? And here I go thinking all along that Protestants tie being saved with just plain faith in Christ, theology notwithstanding!
I wish you guys would make up your minds. Or does it change with the days of the week and the medications taken?
I know what the Orthodox follows, but once again, you have access to a major catechism that states the truth and leads you to the scriptures.

And that is what I am tying it to since that is what the catechism expresses.
The Calvinist view of election is not relevant to the issue of being saved by faith alone.
As for the Canon, that is the same one that the Greek Church Father Athanasius was supporting, rejecting the Apocrypha books as part of the sacred Canon.

The only thing that changes are your excuses for rejecting the truth.
But I think that you have just about run out of them.
Your final appeal is only that the Orthodox church doesn't believe it.
I am sure Christ will find that a very convincing argument at the Great White Throne Judgment (Rev.20)
