The only people who obsess over it are Catholics and apparently the AP.

How about splitting it thusly: Catholic Christian and nonCatholic Christian?

Take the chart for a spin under those auspices.

Oh, I think there would be a few million Orthodox who would probably not agree with that division.

Where would you classify Jehovah's Witnesses? Mormons? Oneness Pentecostals? (Catholics don't consider any of them as Christian at all...because of the rejection of the Trinity as defined by the First Council of Nicea...not sure about "non-Catholic Christians" though)

Sorry. But if one cannot accept that Christ's death on the cross was all sufficient to atone for sin, one cannot be Christian. If you think there are other things in which you must do for that salvation to take, you are not acknowledging that God's grace is sufficient. Christianity is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. It's not a "religion". A lot of people are being deceived by the Great Deceiver (Satan) and unfortunately will not figure it out until they leave this life. Then it's too late.
