  That's true currently, but it's sometimes handy to recall that
Christianity began as a sectarian revitalization movement within
Judaism.  Those groups of Jews who thought that Jesus was their
messiah were "Yeshua-Messianists", which, if they were to say it in
Greek, would have been "Jesus-Christ-ians".  That's semantically
accurate, but of course, it had a different connotation when applied
intra-Judaically than when used in the later, Hellenized, Gentile
church.
