Not sure what the issue is here. Scholars do not call people by name and declare them kufr except in a few extreme and clear cut cases (Salman Rushdie, for example). Usually scholars will outline what actions that could result in someone crosses the line and be kufr and just leave it at that.

Very true. This is by far the best solution to this problem. I have heard people arguing so many times about whether someone is Muslim or not. If there are clear sings of disbelief although they claim to be Muslim, I would just be cautious around them to safe guard my deen, but theres no need t issue fatwah on them
