Can you be more specific about your test? With only 2 wires you have
continuity between the pair, right? That says the contacts are closed.
Now if you change the stat setting the contacts will show open,
correct? That shows the contacts open properly. The stat is in series
with one input line to the heater, if like most conventional units. it
is operating as a single pole, single throw switch and there is always
voltage (to ground if you're testing) at the heater terminals. HTH
