2. The lack of a universal definition of Christianity is at fault
with this. The denominationalism that has so divided Christendom has resulted in there being no real definition of what a Christian is that is accepted by all Christians. So, any sect or denomination can freely declare any other as not true Christianity. And that extends right down to the individual Christian. In many ways, there are really no true Christians today. And yet, there are many hundreds of millions of them at the same time.
That's why it's meaningless to say that anyone who styles him or herself as a Christian is not a true Christian. It all depends on where you're standing.
