Saving (and sharing) raid checkpoints (Destiny)

I have working theory based on my experience this week.

Checkpoints can be shared only in the Embarkment area. If you join a fireteam that is already in one of the encounter rooms and you wipe, you won't get a checkpoint.

It's possible that if you join someone with a checkpoint in the Embarkment area, and you go to orbit without wiping, you still won't get the checkpoint. You may need to progress to the Castellum room and wipe to save it, but I suspect that room may work like the other encounter rooms. Joining a fireteam already in the Castellum room and wiping may not give you a checkpoint.

I'll continue to test.

Thanks to all who shared (or tried to share) the gauntlet checkpoint with me.

Would it be possible to get the encounter started, have people join you, then the guy who gave you the checkpoint leaves?
