Having rejected the bodily resurrection, they have rejected Biblical salvation - which is damnable heresy. | They do not reject a bodily resurrection. They believe in a body that is raised a 'spiritual body'. They hold to a 'spiritual vision' model of the eternal state.
Whether they are Christians or not is an interesting question, but technically they do believe in a resurrection.
(I am not defending what they say they believe, but defending the possibility of their salvation.) | But they reject a physical bodily resurrection, which is the faith of orthodox Christianity; anyone who denies this is outside the bounds of the Christian faith.
