If anyone really were a devout Christian, we'd have no way of knowing because you aren't supposed to go around advertising it.
However, using the same criterion we can establish that there are many, many so-called Christians who do not fit the bill.
I have a problem with this. It's not a rigid definition. Religion and spirituality are on a continuum and there is nothing wrong with that. Everyone's different. Defining whether someone is a "true Christian" is not the slightest bit helpful. The Bible is clearly a book of interpretation that not all groups agree on. What others believe is not my business. I have a serious problem with religious people telling me what I should think and believe, and how I should lead my life. On the other side of the coin, I find it hypocritical and not useful at all when atheists tell Christians about what they believe in.
