You can argue that with the former Bishop of Durham, the RR David Jenkins. He's on record as disbelieving the literal, physical resurrection of a corpse, and of not worshipping one. But I think even the Pope recognised him as a Christian, not to mention the Archbiship of Canterbury, who raised him. Good luck.

The vast majority of Christians, both Catholic and Protestant, do in fact believe what the Apostles creed affirms The vast majority of Christians have never even heard of the Apostle's creed. Most of the members of the Apostolic (the Holy Roman Catholic) Church--HAVE. Many Christians DO NOT believe that Mary was a virgin, the communion of saints, etc. All Catholic Christians do. Many Christians think that ALL Catholics are NON CHristians. You are wasting your time trying to tell me that a Christian is someone who believes in little, if any, or some, or all of the Roman Symbol. It is a bit more complex than that. Technically, only one who believes in ALL of the Creed can be said to believe in the Creed. As far as who or what a Christian is, well-they define themselves don't they? That is why we have thousands of sects hostile to one another. If you deny the person and the work of Jesus Christ. If you deny you are a sinner in need of a Savior. If you don't believe Jesus Christ rose physically and bodily from the grave. Then you are not a Christian I don't care what Building you visit on Sunday. Like many Christians I deny the doctrine of original sin. You should too, as it was pagan in concept, and was never part of scripture.
