Main article
A Christian, most simply put, is a follower of Jesus. What this actually means is debated by different people.
Some simplistic terms, many Roman Catholics, Eastern Orthodox and Anglican Christians consider a person to be a Christian once baptism has taken place. Since infants are baptized in these churches, this often means that a young child can be called a Christian. Alternatively, many Protestants consider that a personal belief in Jesus as saviour defines a person as Christian. In countries where Christianity is historically the majority religion, the term is often used to describe anyone who has a vague belief in God.

Quotes
- Being a Christian is more than just an instantaneous conversion; it is like a daily process whereby you grow to be more and more like Christ.
