One of the side-effects of the Reformation was the "atomization" of faith, for good and for ill. Now a believer can church-hop as they see fit, or skip organized religion altogether. One's relationship with church is seen as irrespective of one's relationship with God.
The LC tried to address this, but with less ground than the EO has, as you note.
