Don't know who you work for, could be the same as me as we have that SOP now. My thoughts are how long will it be before "continue" get's the PF into the mindset of landing, as that's what he does 99.9999% of the time once he has called "continue"!

All the way down to minimums, if you abort the approach it's called a G/A
Not heard that before, but as far as I am concerned I am doing a Go-Around at anytime until the thrust reversers have been deployed, whatever the reason!
