As I said, this would be more daunting if we didn't hash it out
already in vol 2 and again in vol 5-6.

RDJB cites Mamrim 3:3. Mamrim explicitly includes those raised in
non-mesoretic beliefs. Probably the intent is to discuss Qaraim, which
is a pretty good precedent for looking for how the rishonim would have
dealt with today's issues. Even if they have contact to real Yahadus
they are influenced by their upbringing and are anusim and tinoqos
shenishbe'u. Therefore, the Rambam says it is ra'ui to bring them to
teshuvah VELIMSHOKH OSAM BEDARKHEI SHALOM ad sheyachzehu le'itan
haTorah.

Tir'u baTov!
