I'm not an authority on this but I don't see anything wrong with it. I think Lefebvre had great intentions, however misguided he might've been in their execution. Sometimes I don't think we'll know the truth of whether he was completely in the right or not until we enter eternity ourselves.

As far as their sacraments, they're valid but illicit. A few years back, I think it was during the year of mercy, Pope Francis permitted allowed Catholics to go to confess to SSPX priests if they wanted.

It's a good thing to pray for him, or any deceased person. Prayers for the departed never go to waste. And they probably need more than we think they do.

I would be a regular in a SSPX Mass if one were near, and there were no FSSP near. It is torture for me to suffer through the N.O. Masses that are near, but I do so for the sake of the Eucharist, remembering how Jesus suffered with the corruptions, abuses and hypocrisies of the religious institution of His day. He wept over Jerusalem (Lk 19:41); The tears of Mary - whose heart is one with her Son - evidence the tragic condition of the institutional Church in our time.
