So, if someone was baptized as a Christian, that person is technically "a Christian," in that sense. That's why I'm careful to use wording like "living the Christian life style" and "beliefs not being in line with Christian beliefs."
Do you think baptism is an original superstition? Hate to burst your bubble but replacing animal blood with water is all Christianity did. The idea of "washing" the bad out of a person was done in prior polytheism.
Same with the Eucharist, it simply was an attempt to get rid of animal sacrifice.
