Bill,

Would this face make something up? (oh, that's right, you can't see my
face) Then you can't see me crossing my finger either, so I'll say no,
I'm not making anything up! ;-)

I'm no expert on Red Savinas. They are a hybrid, but I think work is
being done to stabilise the hybrid so it breeds true to type.

OP stands for open pollinated. They will breed true to type. When two
types of pepper are cross-pollinated the next generation will be F1
hybrids, with genetic features of both parents. Any seeds saved from
this, whether cross-pollinated or not will be the F2 generation and will
produce plants of greater variation than the F1 generation. Selection of
which plants you save seeds from for each subsequent generation can
result in a stable hybrid, and a new stable cultivar, with time.

Anything I have wrong, or have created from my own warped memories of my
Biology degree will be subsequently corrected by other members of the
list...

Cheers,
Tara
