“You’re assuming that the CC held non-frum Jews are tinok shenishba. You’ve quoted others who hold like that but nothing from the CC that indicates that.”

I’m leaving aside the tinok shenishba issue for the moment. I am just talking about whether or not one can speak Loshon Hora about them. According to the Chofetz Chaim it is assur to speak Loshon Hora about them (even if they fall into the category he is referring to, which I am not certain about, but I am leaving that aside for the moment) unless it fulfills all the requirements listed in BMC.
