I guess, one just needs to ask the person who is presenting himself as Christian:
"Are you always ready to (and/or allowed to, in case he is a politician, soldier, lawyer... etc.) love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who despitefully use you, and persecute you".

If his answer is a clear YES then he is a real independent disciple of Jesus Christ; otherwise he is just a follower of a certain Christian organization/system (called a denomination or Church in general) created by men in the name of Jesus..

Let's me out, then.
