Dear Theophan, I hope all is well with you and hope you had a wonderful pascha. You stated that you were confused about the grace in rocor question and then you said "I belieive ....", do not approach the situation with what you believe but approach it with the Saints teachings and I believe the confusion you have will clear up very quickly.
Schismatic Old Calendarism is an Anti-Patristic Stance

Anti-Patristic: The Stance of the Zealot Old Calendarists
Anti-Patristic: The Stance of the Zealot Old Calendarists
by Monk Basil of the Holy Monastery of Saint Gregory (Grigoriou), Mount Athos
It is hoped that the following article—translated several years ago, but not posted until now—will be of some help to Orthodox Christians who are wrestling with whether they should remain in communion with their Bishop or "jump ship" to one of the Old Calendarist groups. It may also help those who are struggling with whether the recent reconciliation between the Moscow Patriarchate and the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia means they should leave the ROCOR for one of the break-away churches opposed to the reunion...

You obviously know nothing about us. FYI: this is a True Orthodox Forum. Why do you keep lurking here and posting on this site if you think we're schismatics? You aren't even Orthodox. Go post on a monophysite forum.
Some people prefer cupcakes. I, for one, care less for them...
