You’re a fraud.

I don't refer to myself as Notzrim except when trying to explain why I am not a xtian. I attend a Messianic Congregation that uses Messianic Jew and Messianic Gentile quite freely, and I am a Jew who believes that Yeshua is the Messiah. However, I am not wedded to the term.
It matters very little to me what i call myself, so long as I am understood.
What title would you prefer that acknowledges me being Jewish, and believing that Yeshua is my savior that does not include the word xtian?
You see, I dislike the assumptions as to my beliefs that the term xtian implies. Perhaps I should also dislike the term Messianic Jew, although it is the current term that is accepted amongst other Jews that believe in Yeshua.
Would you prefer Covenant Believer? One Rabbi I know uses that, as he has the same difficulty with the various terms as you do.
