Yes, I recognize most of them. If I am not mistaken, only one of the four (single nature of Christ) has been officially branded as heresy. And yes, it can block progress. Yes, the other three are ‘not quite right’ (though serious theologians do not fight over the filioque). They are, though, part of the standard repertory of heterodox errors regularly spouted out by a certain type of Orthodox zealot who believes that outside Orthodoxy you are damned. Personally I find this type of zealotry juvenile and stupid, in particular in countries like England and Wales, where very clearly people have remained faithful to God, and God has blessed them in this faithfulness, outside the Orthodox Church.
