and the reason is I have done that before and often the person was very startled that a stranger would walk up to them like that.

On another occasion the person was NOT Apostolic at all and was very annoyed that I asked if they were.

It isn't so much rather you ask them what church they attend or what the believe theologically. It is the spirit in which you greet each other. I may not walk up to them and ask them where they go to church but I will always smile and say God Bless you. If they want more conversation then they can reply.
I have been the object of some of those holier than thou looks.
We sat one table over from a group that was Pentecostal and got snubbed. Not just odd looks. We spoke, politely, and they looked at us and turned their heads without even speaking.
