No. The difference being Christianity is defined by Christ. the christian Religion is defined by man. Being a member of the religion does not in no way make you a Christian by the standard of Christ. How can one say that? Because again, Unlike the no true scots man fallacy their are rules that define a Christian by the standards of Christ in the bible. If one does not follow said rules we are told Christ will not acknoweledge them as 'Christian.'

soitenly!
21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
The bold shows us that men of great 'christian' works 'Prophesy=preaching/teaching in the name of Jesus, Casting out Demons.. it apostle/Tv evangelist level works.. Which means All these men see themselves as elite among 'Christians.' And what was Christ's response? 'Depart from me I never knew you.' Meaning they were never Christian even though clearly they claimed to be.. Right to Jesus' face on the day of Judgement.
So again, I names and titles mean nothing. Jesus decides who is and who is not Christian. I know some of you and some church goers will be shock by who is and is not 'Christian.' both for different reasons.
And the underlined bit shows that their are rules and conditions.
I may have butchered it, but it's all there.
