"Understand" and "respect" don't fit in with the rest of her sentence:

One and All, To me, the day when any one who calls himself a theosophist can actually accept the point of view of another,
without defense or offense in thought, word or deed, then we will
have the true spirit of what HPB, in her best intention, flaws and
all, was dedicated to accomplishing.
And, frankly, even "respect" does not make sense. At most, understanding and tolerance. I can understand a belief system that does not allow me to have my own; I can even tolerate it. But I'm not going to respect it. And there were plenty of religious beliefs H. P. Blavatsky did not respect, either.
