Let's see, my baptismal and blessing certificates both say RLDS. My Patriarchal Blessing says RLDS. My father's ordination certificate and priesthood card say RLDS. I guess that makes me RLDS. Sure, they could send new documents, but that would be costly and they would not do that. Even if they did, I would not accept them, I would retain my original documents. I would not bother to go to the trouble and expense to return them, but they would work well for starting a fire on chilly evenings in my fireplace.
