@RRR0BYN The "eucharist" doesn't mean much to non-denoms. It's just bread and wine (or crackers and juice). They're not sacramental about it. It's just a reminder, like how your calendar reminds you of the day of the year: it's good to have, but not essential.
@NathanPrindler@PageauJonathan Still, Sola Ecclesia is a Protestant fear and projection. Orthodox don't believe in "sola" doctrines. Only God is good, while in practice salvation will always be multi-dimensional just as health is multi-dimensional.
@NathanPrindler@PageauJonathan What a hilarious projection. No true catholic has ever said the Bible is sufficient. No true Orthodox has ever said authority is invalid unless it's infallible. But Prots doctrinally say both: by Scripture Alone and by Christ Alone. Sola Ecclesia is a made-up strawman.
