I'd cite the fathers' criterion directly. Irenaeus, Ignatius, and Tertullian treated unbroken public succession of bishops from the apostles as the decisive, visible mark of the authentic church. A body organized centuries later without that succession, relying instead on private interpretation of Scripture alone, is exactly the kind of unauthorized assembly they rejected as outside the apostolic deposit.

The Church consists of all those baptized in the Holy Orthodox Church in the past, present and future. Perhaps going through catechesis would be useful.
This dude hasn’t heard of the tens of millions killed by the communists in reeducation camps…
