How is that more relevant than the Rambam actually treating nidon
didan (as per the subject line) -- how one treats them on a day-to-day
basis? And he explicitly says in Mamrim 3:3 that we should be friendly
with them.

So, lehalakhah, I would conclude the Rambam prohibits hating the
typical current adherent of non-Torah Isms, no less than his
requirement to act bedarkhei shalom with a Qara'i.

Regardless of the proper label implied for such "nebich apiqursim",
the Rambam spells out our bottom line.
