We’re talking past each other. I agree that labelling a person something does not make them that thing. What I’m trying to say is that there is good justification for identifying a person by a label when they exhibit the descriptors of that label. Clearly, a child described as Christian (adj.) may not actually be a Christian (n.) except nominally. With your powers of comprehension, I’m sure you understand and appreciate the distinction. Not sure where six years old comes into it, though.
