My definition of a Christian is a person that:

a) Believes the bible is the inspired unchangeable word of God
b) Believes that Jesus Christ was the Son of God and died for their sins
c) Has accepted God's call to repentance
d) Believes that their soul's salvation is found only through accepting Jesus' Blood as the covering for their sins.
e) Makes a discernable effort to emulate the Lord and His Apostles in life and conversation.

You'll notice that a great deal of protestant trinnies qualify for my definition. They are sincerely Christians, but are sincerely deceived or sincerely living beneath their privileges.

Roman Catholics, in my opinion, are not Christians. On the rare occasion when a Catholic has elucidated this viewpoint from my lips, the ensuing conversations could only be termed, 'interesting.' Yikes.
