A christian is one who professes belief in Jesus as the promised messiah, the son of God and savior of the world. Most of extras border on the no true scotsman mentality. Take someone from a truly sectarian church organization and they'll have a very exclusive definition of what a Christian is which limits the term to only some members from their group. * +

Going to a church group has little to do with being or nor being a christian. The question is... What does the church-goer believe? Also there are many christians who dont belong to any denomination. * +
