You missed my point again. I said you are commiting the 'no true scotsman' fallacy because you claim that bad things aren't christian, meanwhile we have people like the Westboro bapstist church and the KKK going around doing awful things, yet to you they are not 'true christians'. My point was, you cannot tell who 'true christians' are. You have no way of knowing. And so whenever you claim that those bad christians aren't 'true christians' you are commiting the fallacy.
