1) The eastern heterodox are not United in doctrine. They disagree on purgatory, the immaculate conception, and even the filioque. Though these are western doctrines in origin, the veracity and theological coherence of these doctrines are debated. They also disagree on Re-baptism. 2) the eastern heterodox are not holy as they have no proven miracles. The alleged “holy fire” in Jerusalem is NOT a real miracle. It is a proven fraud and the Pope has even forbid Catholics from participating in it. The extent of their holiness ends with their valid liturgies (which are illicit). 3) the eastern heterodox are not catholic as they lack representation from the Latins, Alexandrians, Antiochenes, Eddesseans, or even the Armenians. Furthermore the Eastern heterodox tradition is Byzantine, which did not exist prior to the reign of Constantine. 4) the 4th mark is the only mark the eastern heterodox possess. The eastern heterodox are not a true church of Christ.
