Frodo that is your personal interpretation of what a christian is but according to Encarta.com it is what I once said in another thread. 1. believer in Jesus Christ as savior: somebody whose religion is Christianity.
As I have stated before a christian is a follower and believer in Christ and his teachings.It's true that not many religious groups that fall under that title follow the teachings of Christ to the letter and all of them add or take away things from the N.T.It's all a matter of interpretation which if I recall you said in another thread was okay and expected.
When I was a pentecosal evangelist I would have agreed with you about Catholicism and many other christian isms,but like it or not catholics are christians based on the definition and common usage of the word.

There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
