Basically, a person can be claimed by Christians as long as they are doing 'good' (in the eyes of Christianity). As long as they stay on this path, that person one of them.
But if at any point in their life that person commits some atrocity in the eyes of Christianity, it can be claimed he was never really a Christian to begin with.
This just creates a loophole in the 'rules'. Like a get-out-of-jail-free card for the rest of the 'true' Christians.
The question is even though they are or claim to be christians, are they following Christ or they going against him? If they are going against Christ, then they are not following christianity.
Have you ever read the bible???
