To” little that I know”- I think you are misunderstanding the correct meaning of the word “frumkeit”. Similiar to the word “Yeshivishe” it is totally unrelated to a person’s connection to HKB”H. The terms themselves really relate to superficialities and are not meant to be a judgment of one’s true self-worth (although as you point out many people do make that mistake. ) R. Volbe has a whole chapter in Alei Shur in which he discusses this. We can very much be a judge of how frum or yeshivishe a person is. Only Hashem knows how good of a Jew a person is.
