unity is not Ecumenism.

I agree, but that's probably because we are using the term 'Ecumenicism' in different ways.

What exactly do you think it means to be "perfected in unity"?(John 17:23)

To be perfected in unity simply means to be complete in the knowledge of Christ. It does not mean to be all one sect.

Teleios 8:67,1161 tel'-i-os Adjective Definition brought to its end, finished wanting nothing necessary to completeness perfect that which is perfect consummate human integrity and virtue of men full grown, adult, of full age, mature
