How about this?
Stand outside your local UPC church and ask folks coming out of the building.... "Are you a member of the UPC?".
I am sure that most will answer yes.
Whatever the manual says or doesn't say it has been drilled into the people in the past by the ministry that they (the saints) are the UPC and some have even gone a step further and preached the UPC was the Bride of Christ.

Now, I know I'm not the brightest bulb in the box, but where do you find "non-voting member" in the sentence below?

Membership in the United Pentecostal Church International shall consist of all ministers and missionaries holding an accredited credential or license, and all members of local assemblies which are affiliated with us, and shall be called "Organization".
