>The majority of the 'christian' faiths claim that anyone who claims to be a 'christian' but doesn't believe that the only way to be a chriistian is to have a personal relationship to God through Jesus Christ is not a christian. Accepting Jesus Christ as your savior and admitting that the one and only way to salvation is through Jesus Christ is a requirement in being a christian.

Don't tell the Catholics. <g> Actually, seems to me that one of the big schisms in Christianity was over this question of whether an intercessory is needed. AIUI, that was one of the things that made the Puritans anathema--they said individuals could have a direct relationship with God.
