As christians, you both do accept equivalent religious claims - that christ is savior.
Just as we might confuse natural facts for moral facts, we might confuse facts of our superstitions with moral facts. You and a mainline christian have disparate superstitions, but you share the moral claim to sacred content, and, obviously, your natures as human beings.
It may be that no fact of your religion or your superstitions accurately reflects or establishes any moral fact, in fact - and I personally believe that you're both in the same situation on that count. There is literally nothing of moral import in either of your religions. The only moral import to either of your religions surrounds your willingness to assert or enforce your religious beliefs. That's consequential, even if your positions on the specific matters are utterly and completely vacuous.
