You realize "Christian" just means u believe Christ is the Messiah.

That belief doesn't make you a good person in any way.

You really aren't prepared for this discussion.

All of your understanding of theism comes from snarky atheism memes and edgelads parroting gigacringe youtubers in forum comment sections.

Salvation doesn't mean you are a 'good' person, it just means you sincerely asked Jesus for the gift.

Now, Jesus TOLD his followers to be good people, but it is not required to have, or keep divine Salvation.

Regardless of your poorly formed personal opinion.

And no, the meaning of 'Christian' implies action, to be like a 'little Christ', which is what the actual meaning is. You can believe that Jesus is the messiah all you want but unless you ask him for salvation, you are not saved, and unless you walk like he did, you are not Christian.
