I do not believe so. We have to be careful about these things. Those who claim clothing is a mark of Christianity often overlook what Jesus explicitly stated was a mark. And the true distinction for being saved is buried with something else.
Think of it. Pharisees uses apparel for distinction of serving God, and Jesus said they were whited sepulchers. Jesus had to stress to them the heart. This is the VERY problem we see with stressing clothing as distinction to the lost.

I agree with everything that you have said. My point was not that it proved we are saved.
But, again, there is a marked distinction in the Bible. Whether the distinction is presented negatively or positively, there is still a distinction between the church and the world.
