Yes or No Garandman, are Catholics Christians?

Sorry - I took a brief hiatus from this thread.
Sorry, but the answer is "It depends."
A "Christian" is a follower of Christ. In order to be a follower of Christ, one must repent of and turn from their sins, and receive Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord. This is a LIFE CHANGING decision where the INDIVIDUAL no longer is captive to the desires of the flesh, but works toward becoming more "Christ-like." (And as recent events have shown, I have to work on that myself some)
IF a Catholic has done this, then (And ONLY then) is he a "Christian." I don't care WHAT label is used. If not, then not.
How could anyone be called a Christian if they have NOT taken this first step of obedience to Christ??
Does that clarify my position??
