Totally out of context. Just because someone does not worship the devil or burn believers at the stake does not make them Christian.

So rather than dodge my question, why not just answer it then? How does your assertion square with Christ’s instruction?
So far as I can tell, it does not square at all. Christ is not ambiguous in what he says in that passage: it is straight talk, not spoken in parables and not much “wiggle room” therein.
Sorry, “out of context” doesn’t work in this case. It is in context and beyond serious dispute.
