The problem is who defines “Christian”, and how.

And who calls themself one.

The Apostle John ( the disciple Jesus loved ) wrote:

3 We know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands. 4 Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. 5 But if anyone obeys his word, love for God[a] is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him: 6 Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did. ( 1 John 2:3-5, NIV ).

If John’s epistle means squat, then anyone can call himself Christian.
