I applaud the effort and the caution. David is right that it's a "hard question to answer." It's especially hard, given the clarity with which you need to answer it. If we can't answer this, then Romans 14 cannot be useful for other things the way Paul used it for meat.

Question for David: Did you consider writing, "...though the weak of course will not believe so"?
