Let me answer your question another way. For many years I had to defend my own salvation by the Lord in the face of endless attacks by the opposers, some of which were my own cousins. I constantly assured them that I was wonderfully saved BEFORE entering the LC due to all the controvercies surrounding the teachings of WL. Because of Lee's constant assaults on all things Christian, it was nearly impossible for outsiders to ascertain whether he was saved or not, let alone all the LC members.
You bring the problems on yourself. Today I wonder if salvation is preached there anymore. Just say "Lord Jesus" three times? Five times during a quarantine? Do you still teach that believing in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is the "low" gospel?

The point in question is "Salvation is a
big unknown. " In the Local churches we say believers in Christ are saved. People who even in many denominations would not say they are saved. We are "Calvinist" remember.
If someone asks you whether you are saved or not and you answer "yes" and they don't believe you, does that automatically mean they are a cult?
If so, then the Orthodox church or Roman Catholic is a cult because they do not believe an evangelical when they say they are saved. Salvation is a big unknown for those in Orthodox and Catholic churches.
I have refuted a number of the points, in particular - "Salvation is a big unknown." , clearly, does not describe us.
For someone you says "they were there" - it should be easy for you to affirm or deny that.
