I've never been a fan of the "you were never a true Christian to begin with" because I know different. I was born into Christianity and raised to be one of the most fervent believers I knew. So if you tell me that I was not a true Christian, first of all you don't know me personally, and secondly you couldn't know what I believed when I was a fervent believer. Thirdly, if someone who believes in God & Jesus, heaven & hell with all their heart isn't a true believer, then who is?
No, it's just a cop-out to try to explain to themselves how someone could leave the faith. It's much easier to say they weren't really in it to begin with.

Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
