Question Summary:
Praying behind Salafis who wipe over normal socks. Having thoughts of kufr. Question Detail:
1)i WORK IN A CHOCOLATE FACTORY WHERE MAJORITY OF THE MUSLIM BROTHERS ARE SALAFIS. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THEY DO MASAH OVER NORMAL SOCKS.

Assalāmu ‘alaykum wa rahmatullāhi wa barakātuh
It is not permissible to follow an imām who you know to have made wudū’ incorrectly.[1] It is also not permissible to pretend to follow such an imām.[2] As such, we advise you to avoid praying in congregation with the group in reference, and if questioned, explain to them respectfully that it is not permissible for you to pray with them.
Merely having such thoughts does not make one a kāfir. In fact, your efforts to fend off these thoughts is a clear sign of īmān.[3] In future, ignore these involuntary thoughts. Ignoring them will lead to them going away. You may also recite the following dhikr upon encountering such thoughts:
لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله
And Allah Ta‘ālā Knows Best

[1] ثم اقتداء الحنفي بالشافعي هل يجوز؟ قال شمس الأئمة الحلواني: لا يجوز إذا كان يعلم أنه لا يرى الوضوء من الحجامة، والوتر ثلاثاً بتسليمة واحدة. وقال ركن الإسلام علي السغدي: ما لم يستيقن بالمفسد: يصلي خلفه وهكذا أجاب شيخ الإسلام الأوزجندي (منحة السلوك، وزارة الأوقاف والشؤون الإسلامية، ص١٥٣)

[3] في صحيح مسلم: عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال: جاء ناس من أصحاب النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فسألوه: إنا نجد في أنفسنا ما يتعاظم أحدنا أن يتكلم به. قال: وقد وجدتموه؟ قالوا: نعم. قال: ذاك صريح الإيمان. قال الشارح: أي استعظامكم الكلام به هو صريح الإيمان، فإن استعظام هذا وشدة الخوف منه ومن النطق به – فضلا عن اعتقاده – إنما يكون لمن استكمل الإيمان اسكمالا محققا (فتح الملهم، ج٢ ص١٥٠)
