I don't know how you can speak for me. I don't argue theology with a complicated, dead genius from 200 years ago that was not a religious leader but instead was a president.
When a guy is a baptized Christian that attends Christian church religiously, that has lifelong church membership and is educated by, married by, and buried by his Christian leaders, then I assume the guy was a Christian.
I’ll throw this in as well. To me this all says that he was a church going Christian, of whom religious experts can sit around and debate his eccentricities or imperfections, or his vanities, etc, but they can not just decide that the man was not a Christian and start teaching that our founding fathers were not of the Christian faith.
“He served on the vestry, or governing body, of Episcopal parishes. He attended church regularly, and often those churches were Episcopalian. He contributed to Episcopal churches regularly, and he had his children not only baptized but also married under Anglican and Episcopal auspices.”
Then you wouldn't be talking about Jefferson.
BTW: Reagan WAS a devout Christian, but stopped attending services regularly when he was in his late teens, a tradition that continued until his death.
