No, a Xian is a Xian if he believes in Christ. A Jew is a Jew based upon his deeds, not his creeds. Don't try to worm out of the fact that Xians were the perps of the Holocaust (although this does not necessarily implicated Xianity). You cannot claim that a Christian is defined by deeds when it suits your purpose. If you believe closeness to God is dependent on deeds, then you are essentially a Jew. By the way, it was another among many of your false assumptions that I am Jewish. I am only someone interested in theology who finds Judaism objectively superior to faith based credos. To clarify this does not mean Jews are superior to Xians, just that an ethic based on deeds is superior to one based upon faith.
