I would not call them kafir, some scholars do claim that some of their anthropomorphic beliefs are problematic. The first salafis in Saudi killed Muslims and slaughtered them as kafirun. Khawarij do this. The current Salafis admire and follow these earlier Salafis or wahabis who are from the najd...so they are upon the same manhaj. My brother was a staunch salafi..maybe no so much now...but I am aware of all the arguments they use....they consider most Muslims to be mushriks.

You have a very poor understanding of Salafism if that is what you've come to know of them. Salafis are anything but a monolith. And your claim that Salafis "consider most Muslims to be mushriks" is an outright lie, otherwise I can say that some self-proclaimed Sunnis consider most Muslims to be kaafir (such as the Barelvis and the Ahbash).
