It boils down to what is and is not a Christian. If all you think a Christian is, is one
that says they are, or one that believes X,Y, and Z than that is what a Christian is
and you can be one by either of those standards. If a Christian is one that actually
gets saved by the grace of God through Jesus Christ that now can call God Father
due to God's grace has invited Christ into his or her life so that they now have a
relationship with God, then no I don't think you ever were. Reason being if you
actually had a relationship with God, you would not be able to turn around later
and say it really didn't happen. If it really didn't happen, than it really did not
happen which makes your claiims different from those that acknowledge God in
their lives.
