     Not a chance.

Not a chance.  I know Christianity is true and will not jeopardize eternal life for money.

Well you could just convert to Islam and keep being Christian, it’s not like he’s a mindreader.

     Matthew 10:33 comes to mind: "But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father in heaven." I know Islam professes Jesus to be the Messiah, but the Christian understanding of Him is very different and this difference is fundamental and non-negotiable.

Say a fundamentalist Islamic regime took over and banned any open practice of Christianity, forcing Christians to officially convert to Islam. Would a Christian who publicly converts to Islam but practices Christianity in secret still be a Christian under your definition?

     It's not my place to say who is or isn't a Christian, but any Christian who pretends to practice another religion to avoid persecution is treading extremely dangerous ground.

Tough, Donatism was declared a heresy years ago.

     What I said wasn't Donatist though.
