Yes, as a Catholic vividly interested in the Eastern Orthodox matters, I think you listed important fundamental distinctions with great lucidity. Even better, you managed to steer clear from superficial differences of praxis that often cloud the discussion.

Much of the difference between Orthodoxy and the Latin Church comes down to phronema, which manifests itself in both praxis and dogma. On the other hand, certainly by today its fair to say that Orthodox Christianity is the major determinant of the Eastern Christian religious and secular mindset and likely to a greater extent than Latin Christianity is today the determinant of the Western religious and secular mindset.
