oomis1105, do you disagree with Rav Elyashiv in his Ha’aros on 75b tells us that Rashi and Tosfos do, in fact, hold that the child would be a non-Jew (that the child follows the father’s status)? Rashi and Tosfos (according to Rav Elyashav) are serious opinions on such serious issues! This goes to the very heart of Jewish identity, not merely a chumra or relying on a kulah.

Shmendrick:

1. Can you prove, without a shadow of a doubt, that Rav Elyashav actually paskened that a child follows the father’s status? Did he hold this is halacha l’maisah?

2. Can you tell us even one reputable Rav who holds this way today?

If both answers are no, as I strongly suspect, then stop beating a dead horse. It’s a non-issue.
