Forgive my ignorance, but does the Orthodox faith believe in the Communion of Saints?
Thanks for the responses.

Yes we do.
(Although, if you would satisfy my curiosity, why did you say in another thread here that we are wonderful and that you would never condemn us, if you didn't know this already?)

My knowledge of the Orthodox faith is limited in scope, but I have some basic understandings and respect for the Orthodox Church. I do not see how you could infer that my lack of condmenation would equate to a full grasp on Orthodox doctrine.
But thank you for the response.

Ok then. If there's anything else you would like to ask, feel free. But yes, we believe in the Church Militant and the Church Triumphant, those here who wage war against sin and those who have finished the race. It is hard to put into words any more about it, but you might read the text of the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom to get a better grasp on our understanding of the Church (ecclesiology is heavily involved here).
