No you are not rude. I think that we just disagree on what it takes to be saved and the evidence of who might be a secret Satanist. I do appreciate you for sharing.

Yes, there are famous people who are satanists with some who are not in secret

Trying to understand. So God has made it clear to you that each and every famous person is a satanist?

If so, that must be a tremendous prayer and evangelistic concern.

The idea that just being well-known means that a person cannot be a genuine Christian doesn't seem to fit with God's Word:

“For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called.” (1Co 1:26 NKJV)

"Wise", "mighty" and "noble" could be referred to as famous or well-known. As John Gill said in his commentary: "The apostle does not say that there were none of the wise, the mighty, and noble called; for there were Crispus, and Sosthenes, rulers of the synagogue, and Gains a rich hospitable man, and Erastus the chamberlain of the city, and it may be some others of a like or better figure in life; but there were not many of them; instances of this kind are but few recorded in the Scripture."

I wonder why you think that God has imparted to you knowledge about the spiritual standing of a large group of people claiming to be Christians? I could understand the elders of a local church being so enabled by God concerning an individual famous person applying for church membership, but what good is it doing you? Also, are you saying that if a person is famous, they cannot become a Christian? That, in my opinion, is limiting God, and asserting something that is not taught in Scripture.

I'm really sorry if my response sounded rude yesterday. I think it sounded kind of ugly and I'm really sorry for that.
