I don't think Orthodox are nearly immersed as RCs. Just look at the difference in the NAB and the Orthodox study bibles, for example. The OSB is solid and mostly sticks to Christological commentary. The NAB commentary sound like the Oxford Annotated or something (like mainline Protestants who lost the faith and question everything).
My point isn't that Orthodox are necessarily identical to mainline Protestants, but Orthodox priests in general in the US are not intellectually naive, and they receive good educations about the origins of various biblical texts. Whereas many fundamentalist Protestant churches simply do not educate pastors about such matters, or they communicate misleading propaganda or dubious explanations to try to put a fig leaf over traditional authorship.
