A great example of nominal or cultural Christians. However, if they do not believe in what is the very definition of what it means to be a Christian, they are mistaken in their self-identity.
In many cases, it probably is that the person believes in God and is NOT a Muslim, Hindu, Jew, or some other religion. They arrive at Christianity by cultural default.
Um . . .
your definition of 'Christian' is based on Paul's retconning of Jesus. Jesus was very clear about being sent to perfect Judaism and your Paul based definition doesn't acknowledge Jesus' very own self proclaimed primary objective.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
