That raises an interesting question.   Suppose you were a Rhinish Jew who
has been eating what the rest of Jewry holds is chelev.   At some point you
either move into a community where this is not acceptable, or you conclude
that your community's position is incorrect, and you stop eating it.  Do you
have to kasher your keilim?   On the one hand, of course you do!  You've
been cooking chelev de'oraisa in them!  It's an issur kares!  On the other
hand, for all these years, mainstream frum Jews have been eating at your
home, from these very same keilim, relying on "stam keilim einan benei yoman".
The Shulchan Aruch told them it was OK to do so.  Now you have something even
better -- you *know* your keilim are not benei yoman!  So how can we say that
you should not rely on that?  How can we tell you to kasher keilim that we
ourselves were willing to eat from before you "did teshuvah"?
