A 'real' Christian to me is somone who accepts the atoning works of Christ on the cross as payment for our sins. Is subsequently indwelled by the Holy Spirit and strives to live a life pleasing to God. Of course we all fall flat on our face innumerable times throughout our lives.
I also know that we cannnot judge who is and who is not a Christian. That's up to God and I don't even bother with trying to determine the salvation of other people. I am not the Christian police. It's not my job and it sure makes your life easier to just assume the best.
On the other hand, I have been known to smack a 'supposed' Christian for acting like an idiot!
