Of course. One of the ironies of the conservative vs. lib, 3 stepper vs. 1 stepper positoins is that by the very nature of each ones belief they are neccessarily very different when it comes to inclusion.
1 steppers view of salvation is a broader one encompassing a much larger group of people in cluding 3 steppers such as yourself.
3 steppers doctrine excludes those who have not completed the 3 step salvation process for being saved and therefore a "brother".
Many progressive 3 steppers do adopt the attitude of being a witness and not a judge so they sometimes interact with other Chrisitans who have not completed the 3 steps and may even call them "brother" (even though they don't believe they are saved).
