Neveille, you not only completely ignored what I said but you actually put words in my mouth. Nowhere have I said there aren’t non-observant/non-frum Sephardim. Au contraire.
The point I did make is that Reform and Conservative are kofrim. And heresy is a much worse state of sinfulness than being non-observant but believing in the Hashem/Torah (even if one fails to live up to the Torah’s laws.) Like how most non-frum Sephardim are, especially being affiliated with a frum community/shul. Whereas the Reform/Conservative actively deny the divine authority of the Torah, explicitly as their theology and/or as their personal (lack of) belief. And the Reform and Conservative movements themselves are effectively rebels against Hashem and His Torah.
Comprehendo?
