As long as they have accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and savior, they are saved. I don't know about all the other stuff. But that is what is important.

From a Catholic perspective Greek Orthodoxy is, generally, seen as less in error. It maintains the beliefs of the first Ecumenical Councils and has a continuous faith from ancient times. Its sacraments are seen as valid so far as I've ever been taught. From a Greek Orthodox perspective I believe Catholicism is seen in slightly more negative terms as tainted by Aristotelian or other Non-Christian notions. I'm not sure if they deem Catholic sacraments valid.

The Church is Heaven were they are all true Christians, and glorify and worship the Lord in the presence of the Lord under the very light of the Lord Himself........ Even though these Christians have not the Holy Spirit, because the Holy Spirit is today in the earth, and these Christians most of their prayers come up dry for the earth , because Holy Spirit is not on them until His work is done in the earth...Some Believers in the earth who don`t go to Church will be going to church in Heaven .....As for the Greek Orthodox Church, I have heard that Jesus forgives their sin and miracles do happen there.... Glory to God.....

You have to accept Jesus into your heart, become born again.

It is personal relationship with Jesus, on contrast to religion.

religion cant save only Jesus.

I don't believe a "true Christian" is necessarily someone who believes all the right doctrines. A "true Christian" is someone who looks to Jesus Christ for salvation and who does his best to live the way Jesus Christ told us to live. In other words, a great many "true Christians" have been "deceived" concerning certain points of doctrine. That doesn't mean that God loves them less or will condemn them to an eternity of torment.
