I’m with you but lots of people believe in the ethnic group category. Most Jews I know aren’t religious and many Catholics are more adherents to a Catholic culture than to the Catholic religion. Ask them what they are, they’re Jews and Catholics.

Well, I certainly believe and classify people by what they do, regardless of how they classify themselves. If someone does not practice Judaism, they are not a Jew to me. If someone does not practice Catholicism, they are not Catholic to me either. I am well aware that the belief is widespread that does not agree with me, but that is my decision and belief that I have, and if there is to be some kind of common sense, it can start with someone, such as say, you or I.
It’s also true that God will test who is truly Christian,Jewish, etc.. The “decisions” and committments will be tested, and tested well.
