"I will grant you, however, that if a Christian is cut off from the beliefs of The Church concerning what is going on in the central act of the Lturgy, namely the Eucharist, The Church's beliefs on many things will seem to be foolishness."

Does this also extend to justification? IOW, do you believe that if someone is outside your church they won't be saved?

Orthodoxy has no opinion on this. We just don't know as we don't know whither the Spirit will go. We can say that salvation is found within The Church. Its quite another thing to say, as I think the Latin Church does, or did, that it is not found outside The Church.
