Christians make up about 35% of Albania (Catholics in the north and Eastern Orthodox in the south). And despite the propoganda of Greek irredentists, the vast majority of the Christians in the south are Albanian Orthodox, not Greek Orthodox. Northern Epirus is a myth, and not all Roman Catholics are Italians, either.

"Of the 3.5 million citizens of Albania, 65 per cent are Muslim, about 25 per cent are Orthodox and 11 per cent are Roman Catholic."

The figure I found does not specify. Of course, the Northern Epirus matter has not been solved yet. This region belongs to Greece and most people and ex pats from the region agree. NO question about that!
