"In our Faith, if you believe certain basic tenets of Christianity, mainly about the Divinity of Christ, the Holy Trinity, etc., you are considered to be Christian. Maybe not a Good Christian, but a Christian."
There must also be repentance. Belief is more than mere intellectual assent. As James tells us, even the demons believe...and shudder. If there is no repentance then there is no true belief.

There must also be repentance.
That is part of the Christian Faith to be sure, but it isn't constant in most Christians, as you cannot really sin and repent at the same time. Granted, Trump didn't sound too repentant when asked about it, but Repentance is often a very personal thing, and we are more or less obliged to be charitable in characterizing other people on this matter.
