All Christians make up that universal church.

Not all those who use the label "Protestant" or "Evangelical" or "Pentecostal" or "inter/non-denominational" are Christians.

Unitarians and Mormons are some extreme examples, but there are many la-di-dah groups that are not Christian. Most people who's teachings do not follow the Apostolic Church (i.e. the teachings from the Assyrian, Armenian, Coptic, Syrian, Eastern Orthodox, Chaldean Catholic, Maronite Catholic, Roman / Latin Catholic, Syrian Catholic etc. Churchs) are not Christian in the true sense as their beliefs are not Christian. There are many groups that take the Bible as a Holy Book but are not Christian -- the Mormons and Muslimes for example

I was not referring to religion, the subject was Christian.

Religion will carry a person straight to hell. Sad to say millions are depending on their religion or church for salvation.

John 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

There are millions in "church" the "institution" and still not be part of the "Organism body of Christ".

Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

Throw in Jehovah's Witnesses (modern Arians), Christian Scientists, and Oneness Pentecostals (modern modalists) among others.
