One of the reasons I enjoyed this essay is that it reminded me of the "Catholic" threads on FR. I had you for the resident "lefty" (sorry, but you fit the bill as far as FR goes - but you might be a "righty" in the real world!) and I'm racking my brains to figure out who'd be the "righty" - not sure on that one yet.

"He that is not against us is for us." This saying is the paradoxical complement to his first saying. For it makes the common sense point that, on the one hand, there is no salvation outside the Church, yet, on the other hand, we puny mortals do not know where "outside" is.

I thought you both might like this essay after all the back and forth on the Lutheran Minister thread (which I gave up on). A little different take on the same sort of issue.
