Dear xzins,
To clarify, I meant to type:
"It's clear to me that the Salvation Army FELLOW is an anti-Catholic bigot."
I didn't mean to say that the entire Salvation Army is comprised of anti-Catholic bigots.

I am more than positive that the question was not written by the interviewer, but by the organization. The organization was looking for a broad non-denomination and inclusive response and any parochial response would be a clear indication that the interviewee did not understand the objectives and goals and purpose of the Salvation Army.
To answer "I am a Methodist, or I am a Presbyterian, or I am a Baptist, or I am a Catholic" to the question of "Are you a Christian" is clear evidence that the responder is not the right candidate for the job.
Despite working with this organization for 2 years, this guy still didn't get it.
Now he has responded with a most-unChristian discrimination lawsuit, which to me tells me that his response was just the same thing as saying "No". Clearly the Salvation Army was right in turning this guy down for the position. He was clearly not the right guy for the job.
