Try everything after the following comma, and the whole next section. these profess to hold the faith of Abraham(Note it doesn't say that they DO hold the faith of Abraham), and the next section considers them outside of Salvation.

No it doesn't --- read it again. Together they worship the same God.

You've posted this silliness before, haven't you? Insinuating that "professing" means they are just saying that?

[Middle English professen, to take vows, from Old French profes, that has taken a religious vow (from Medieval Latin professus, avowed) and from Medieval Latin professre, to administer a vow, both from Latin professus, past participle of profitr, to affirm openly : pro-, forth; see pro-1 + fatr, to acknowledge; see bh-2 in Indo-European roots.]

The Apostles Creed is a profession of faith. I believe that the Nicene Creed is as well.
