...because I, too, was bothered by the reference to the "unsaved." Especially since most of the people I love and care about fit into that category according to Protestant vernacular - not because they are evil or bad people, but because they aren't particularly religious.
My husband likes to say that in Orthodoxy, we know where the spirit is but not where it is not. In other words, we are sure of the Holy Spirit in our church and within the confines of Orthodoxy, but it is not for us to say that the Holy Spirit cannot reach people in other churches or in no church. People's relationship with God - and their terminoligies to describe said relationship - are so very personal and unique.
