[Avodah] reform and conservative

[Rich, Joel]

Are you saying that unless we know forcertain that a C Jews is not a Kofer - we cannot count him into a Minyan?

I don't see how you can say the HaMon Am of C has a Chezkas Pasul. They are mostly TNKs who don't delve into matters of Kefira. They join C for social reasons. JTS graduates are another story.

====================
L"AD this is a time/place based issue - in the time of gemara a mchalel shabbat bfarhesia was = min (mshumad depending on which text you look at). Assumedly this was due to this act being like a public declaration of non-belief. So was eating creepy crawlers .
