Scripture & the early church, with Christ as the core, tends more to an inclusive open faith rather than an exclusive club.

“So here is my counsel: we should not burden these outsiders who are turning to God. We should instead write a letter, instructing them to abstain from four things: first, things associated with idol worship; second, sexual immorality; third, food killed by strangling; and fourth, blood
Acts 15:19-20.

To be a Christian, is to follow Christ, to be conformed to the image of His Son.

For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Rom 8:29
