“And the non-frum who believe toeiva relations is okay (as most non-frum nowadays believe) or that the death penalty for sabbath violators is barbaric, both being outright rejections of the Divine authorship of the Torah?”

1. Not all not-Frum people believe that. You have no proof that it’s most. In EY, I don’t think it’s true, but in any case you have no proof that it is, and there are certainly many who don’t. You are not allowed to just assume that someone is an apikorus just because they are not Frum if you do not have proof that they are.

2. Even apikorsim are considered “anusim” nowadays according to the Chofetz Chaim.
