I would agree with that. If a congregation (as a whole) is living as Christ would live, they have love for one another, and that love naturally spills over into love for others.
I would add here that the false friendliness that I've experienced in a few churches I've visited over the years is almost worse than being ignored. I would also add that I don't think I've ever encountered sicky friendliness in a reformed church. The reformed tend to be either genuinely friendly or to use a worn out phrase, "the frozen chosen".
