I am sure you will find "some Orthodox who believe" and maybe even "some Orthodox priests who believe" things quite contrary to the Orthodox faith. According to the canons of the Church, it is absolutely forbidden to pray with heretics and schismatics. I have never heard of any Orthodox saint, Church Father, or God-bearing Elder permit someone to attend non-Orthodox churches for the sake of worship for any reason. The non-Orthodox do not believe or preach the truth, nor do they offer salvific mysteries; so in attending their worship one will not grow in the knowledge of the truth, nor will the process of their sanctification (deification) be asisted; but rather they may become infected with error and led away from the Ark of Salvation.
And if this is the case, then surely your bishop, who is guided by God for the salvation and sanctification of his flock, will not permit you to attend their churches.
