No. There were no Christians from the time Peter found the Church to the time Martin Luther found a hammer. Then poof, there were suddenly Christians again. Protestant magic.

Well, insert a church father who signed the Nicene Creed in place of Peter and insert "Joseph Smith" in place of "Martin Luther" and you'd sound like a Mormon!!! :)

LOL! We don’t have quite so narrow a definition of Christianity. If you believe Jesus Christ is your Savior and Redeemer, and there is no other way to return to God’s presence, I think you pretty much qualify as a Christian as far as I’m concerned.

Of course, before you can say who is a Christian, you need to provide a definition.
