When you hear the word Christian, what comes to your mind? Maybe that image of church-goers or those who carry with them the cross chanting the prayers of God. Or maybe the name of someone you know. Whatever you cook up in your mind, it's clear: Christians are the followers of Jesus Christ (hence why it has Christ in its name). But the label of Christian doesn't make you necessarily a Christian right away. There are things that can signify you are. So then, what is a true Christian? What are marks of that?
Everything about Christianity revolves around Christ; from his birth to his death, from his miracles to his powers and so on and so forth. They have established something known as "Creeds" which are doctrinal confessions and main writings followed by Christians. The creed most followed in the present is the Apostle's Creed which is also used by Catholics. It establishes everything about Jesus such as "being conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary".
False prophets are known to be just like people. They're the regular type you see on the streets. But to distinguish a false prophet from others, you have to look at their personalities. False prophets don't usually follow the principles of God. They'd take bits of those principles and make their own doctrine. This is almost similar to how Antichrists function. False prophets use this supposed gift to have their own gains. They are not there for the people. They are just there to get whatever they want in the most deceptive manner. They'll fool even the most innocent for their personal gain.
Other religions have their own false prophets too like in Islam. A prophet is a false prophet if he comes after Muhammad because it has already been established Muhammad is the true and final prophet. In Judaism, someone is considered a false prophet if he makes too-good-to-be-true prophecies and turn you away from your faith with God and therefore must be punished to death for such rebellion.
So in a way, Christianity is quite different from other religions in the branch of Catholicism. As it stands, Christianity has a very big focus on everything about Jesus. It can be a bit hard to understand everything about it but if you take the time to listen and read, you'll see that Christianity and Catholic and all other religious branches are not that far from each other. They all still see God as a central part of their faith. So whatever religion you belong to, keep to your beliefs but show respect for others.
