Jeb Bush and I are both Catholic. 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. Trump says he’s a Presbyterian. We consider Presbyterians (who actually hold the old formal beliefs of the Presbyterian sect) to be Christians.

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.

So he claims to be a member of a denomination...

Mark that box.

Belonging to a denomination does not make one a Christian. A person becomes a Christian when he makes a personal decision to make Christ Lord of his life. A Christian can tell you when he was saved, and the circumstances surrounding it.
