These scaled chi-squared values and p-values could be the result of using the Satorra-Bentler correction

Dear Yves,
Based on our last conversation I have a follow-up question:
You mentioned, that all statements about robust RMSEA and CFI from MLM also apply to MLR.
In a paper from Brosseau-Liard & Savalei (2014). Adjusting incremental fit indices for nonnormality I read that in the case of the corrected RMSEA and CFI used in MLM the typical cutoff values from normal ML estimation also apply for these corrected RMSEA and CFI results.
As we discussed that MLM and MLR use the same formulas to calculate RMSEA and CFI and only differ in the scaling beforehand, does this mean that for MLR it is also true that normal cutoff values originally developed from ML estimation can be used? I searched for a paper but couldn't find one.
And what about especially the use of the cutoff values in the case of using MLR or MLM with categorical data (e.g. 5 categories)? Is there anything or any difference between the methods to be aware of?
I am sorry that this is more a general question than a specific lavaan question and I know that cutoff values in general are criticized. But hopefully the answer here also helps future researchers using lavaan.
Thank you very much and best regards
Tobias
