But we don 't presume than anyone is saved, for we don't know their whole book.

Not even the Mother of God? Correct me if I'm wrong (I don't know if it's dogmatic or not) but I thought that the Orthodox held the Blessed Virgin to be perpetually sinless. If this is the case, then how can you not presume that she is saved?

Very good question. The Church believes that she was resurrected body and soul. Only the Catholic Church has a dogma to that effect pronounced in 1952 or 1954. I think it is presumptious to assume tat we know God's judgment.
