[MarMema]

Are you saying I've made up the history of the Orthodox Church myself?

You can not even begin to understand our church from the outside, and most newcomers require at least several years before they begin to slowly change toward the eastern mindset.

"Doctrine is not grasped by the mind alone, but a mind and a heart in communion with God. In this union, one is changed not primarily by what one knows, but by Who one knows. Theology was never intended to answer the unbeliever's questions. It was meant to lead the one with an open spirit into a meeting with God."

[Hermann the Cherusker]

I don't wish to have the subtle Eastern mindset which denies what is openly proclaimed. Again, are you trying to tell me the Greeks have not, since 1755, made it a policy to rebaptise Catholic converts, while the Russians have not? Please answer the direct question.
