What is so hard to understand that a Christian is one who is in Christ and who is saved?

Because that definition is a subset of all Christians.

You don’t get saved by sitting in church or believing what any church just says about Christ.

Correct: not faith alone, but works as well.

I believe in works, but not until after we are saved by faith.

Do you not see how small the difference is here. You said works, but not until after saved by faith. Catholics say work and faith, that one might be saved. I know of no Christian faith that argues works alone....certainly Catholicism does not.

I’m not saying works alone, Petronski. I’m saying FAITH, AND WORKS after you have come to the faith.
