My finger's twitched with the impulse to post a defense.

I noticed that and stopped. The poster has some idea of what 'salvationist' means. And if I understand his idea it doesn't fit my idea of Buddhism, at least not Zen and several other schools and branches I'm passingly familiar with.

Perhaps there are some Buddhist schools and traditions that would fit the poster's description I'm not sure.

It occured to me that if I tried to 'fix' this person's conception of salvationist Buddhism I would likely provide more disruption to the original point of the thread and I wouldn't really be getting to the root of the original question or the poster's ideas.
