This is to say that ordinary beings believe that such objects exist 'out there' as they appear to perception...

That sounds more like a denial of sensory evidence than as a denial of the continuity of mind/self.

Yeah, that phrasing is misleading. It is more like a denial of objecthood and the subject-object distinction. Objecthood just arises from from our reification of our perceptions.
