Jesus was born and raised as a Jew but followers of his teachings (which differ from Judaism) called themselves Christians (Followers of Christ).
Because Catholics are Christians and Christ was a Jew. Christians believe he is the Jewish messiah. Christ died and was resurrected in the city. It is therefore a holy Christian site, worthy of pilgrimage.
Christians believe that our religion was brought to us by the Lord Jesus Christ who was a Jew, and the first Christians were all Jews. The Jews were the apple of God's eye and are still very precious to Him.
The term 'Jew' comes from the 4th son of Israel, Judah, who God gave the 'Sceptre' promise to. Christians believe the promise was fulfilled by Jesus Christ.
Christ was a Jew.
Some of Mahatma Gandhi's notable quotes on Christianity include: "I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ."

A gentile is anybody who is not a Jew. So a gentile Christian is a Christian who is not a Jew.
* Christ was Jewish, and had a Jewish upbringing.. * He believed in the Jewish teachings and even was given a Jewish name (Yeshua Mashiach). He was a true Jew and practiced traditional Judaism. Judaism was created by G-d, and Christianity was created by the Jews. The Jewish people are G-d's people. The Christians (Gentiles) were never G-d's people. The Jewish and the Christans worship the same G-d and there isn't much difference. Christ was a Jew and is a Jew.
Jews are not 'Christians' because if they were, they would be known as 'Christians', and not as 'Jews'. To put it in other words: As a 'Jew', the individual is, by definition, a 'Jew' and not a 'Christian'. Were that individual to become a 'Christian', he would then no longer be a 'Jew'. By the same token, my Aunt is not a bicycle, and my dogs are not watermelons.
An apostate.
Christians believe this happens if you don't receive Christ as savior.
