Yeah fp the definition of "Christian" is a hard one to pin down.

My religion book in High school basically said it was all the denominations that follow Christ that aren't "cults" like 7th Day Adventists and Mormons.

A person who used to post on this form once said that the 2004 election would be decided by "Christians" voting for one side and African Americans voting for the other. I have six Southern Baptist African American majority churches withing a 3 mile radius as I write this. He was a bit of a fundamentalist.

I don't like either definition. I'd say a Christian is as religious person whose religion is centered around Christ. A Christian who condemns another for NOT being Christian enough, is following their idea of Christianity, but in judging others in that way perhaps is not following the example of Christ.
