I would say that "fanatical believers" are within the group of "true believers".

"You seem to be mixing references to "true believer" with "fanatical believer" as if they are one and the same. Is this true?"

I think it's true also.....anyone who thinks they have the one "true" faith has got to be a fanatic. Don't you think that anyone who says there is one true god and one true religion to be fanatical about it?. The dictionary defines:

fanatic...A person possesed by an excessive and irrational zeal, especially for a religious or political cause...

I would personally qualify Haqihana, Prolife, and the Snitch as fanatics...just my opinion...
