RMF uses 3b l'hetter in a teshuva regarding allowing mechalelei shabbos to
duchan.  He says that since the significance of Chilul Shabbos is only as a
"maaseh kefirah", someone who is known to not be a kofeir, even if he is
mechalel shabbos b'farhesia, can still duchan.

I'm sorry I don't have an IM available, but it's in the Yad Moshe under
Nesias Kapaim.  (I think it's in OC1, but I'm not sure.)
