A few questions about returning from excommunication: What would be involved? What would you need to do to get back? What's a reasonable time frame assuming you do all you're supposed to? Also, what's the real down low on the doctrine of the state of your soul once you're "back"? Are you still capable of being "saved"? Are you saved all the way, or only partly saved? Is it truly like it never happened if you repent or are you "forgiven" with an *?
