If you were asked if you were a Christian, how would you respond?

Would you say "Yes" or would you say "I'm a Catholic"?

When I say I am Catholic, I am saying I am Christian, but what I would actually say is that I am Maronite by which I still mean that I am Christian just like the first ones at Antioch.

I would say yes, and then say that specifically I was a Catholic.

I would expect others to do the same -- say yes and then say specifically Methodist, Presbyterian, Baptist, or whatever they were.

Can you say "false dichotomy"?

I knew you could.
