Knowing you are a Christian

Could we be hindering the gospel by not accepting Protestants ? Will I hinder them from accepting Christ at death 

I hope this is true:God setup Protestants to glorify Him by giving them visions to attract more people to know Him to be saved to remove the effect of orthodox who blaspheme His character by making salvation more narrow and the lack of skilled shepherds 

But as I was trying to please orthodox I was going to post the below what do you think ? Are you not offended from me preaching orthodoxy even as the only way because you agree with this post that God confirms you are being saved and maybe does visions or am I responsible for hindering the gospel especially among those who don't have much time to repent ?

I am referring to this 

"I believe I don't need to worry about Protestants if God accepts them He will let them know through answered prayer or miracles or visions but they may not have miracles outside the church because they have not sought the truth with a good heart like nathaniel who had no guile or deceit 
Jesus said an evil generation seeks after a sign. That is God does not give miracles to all but those who seek the truth because Jesus prefers us to seek Him for His sake as He said to Thomas blessed are those who believe without seeing. Thomas was excused because he was a seeker already and a disciple who had a good heart before or now but if one was never a seeker he would not have a miracle but future generations would be required to believe without seeing and He was really rebuking them. One may have a parent not even wish for a miracle and is blessed for believing without seeing but he or she did not seek if he was in the truth we don't know his or her  fate we don't judge him or her 
God did miracles in the early church in a greater level than he does through saints now because He was starting the church and Christianity and so they wouldn't be killed before the preaching. Now He performs miracles only to believers and if there is a need but most won't be given a miracle unless they are Christian already but before it was to testify the evil of a generation worse than others since they had miracles but did not respond 
Therefore as they follow Protestantism they ought to watch out to see if orthodox have truth and they may see a miracle from a saint who is like St Anthony because they have a good heart follow Christ according to their knowledge and seek to find the true church or where truth resides 
Or they should join it if they think it is true for God to confirm for them. Once they see they are regenerated through baptism they will be encouraged and seek more confirmation 

People have to follow what they think is true and willing to leave all for the truth. We are not supposed to let our worry for others stop us from obeying all of christ will but just as non Christians have to leave all for Christ so do Protestants if they have found the truth

Jesus said without eating His flesh and drinking His blood we have no life in us 
The church teaches communion is a great help against sin
This seems to mean a Protestant would have less chance to go to heaven or less chance for reward but I will rebutt it and prove one does not have to have this position as orthodox 
I think it is the rule but God does not have to insist on the sacraments if someone circumstance is different God judges us individually 
I believe what Jesus means about having no life is Protestants can not do the things which bring life to them now but they can live perfectly holy lives they can not produce fruit on the same scale to testify salvation life upon death but they can still produce all the fruit on a lesser scale
for them to be worthy of heaven but not now. Orthodox produce more than necessary to have no shame but Protestants produce enough to have no shame because the orthodox excess is due to extra grace. So why should orthodox have communion supposing they could be saved as Protestant ? An orthodox may not produce excess fruit to be worthy of life upon death but he can bear enough fruit to be worthy of life one day but I believe God specially chooses orthodox to go to heaven upon death even if he deserves to be as Protestants to not go straight to Him but I should rather say an orthodoxy who does not bear as much fruit he only loses the ability to witness to life but he is not worthy of death or he could be among those who are saved with less reward just as some Protestants will have less reward 
An orthodox should have communion because he does to heaven faster and enjoys the gifts of God and if he leaves the church while not at peace with others in wish to harm them if that is possible it does not seem good. And I don't know what else to say about that 

Perhaps they are also instructed in the world to come and given the body and blood which some will gladly take because they always willed to take it but they felt like they are dishonoring their parents 

I insist God pours out His Spirit or gives the same ability to have reward on all believers the same and that is what I hold and am comfortable holding because I am worried Jesus won't appear to every Protestant and be able to convince them they are accepted even if He gives them the power of the Holy Spirit and answers their prayers 
I insist also God gives same grace through pastors 

Also otherwise I think Protestants have reason to think orthodox are their enemies 

A priest is necessary in our church to guide us to repentance as Paul said they watch out for our souls as those who must give account therefore if Protestants do not have pastors they are making it harder for their salvation
