only heretics say he's a heretic.
And I don't mean that to play semantics. In Orthodoxy if you separate from the Church you are a heretic, it's that simple. The only people who propagate this are terminally online "genuine orthodox" or "true orthodox" who follow one single "bishop" who left the Church to dodge canonical penalty and punishment for sexual abuse. and they then have to proclaim that one single "bishop" is actually the true church. Laughable if it wasn't so tragic.
Orthodoxy encourages the spirit of peace, and those terminally online schismatics only spread paranoia and elitist purity spiraling. I hope that helps explain it, it's a very complicated subject that goes back a hundred years
