Christians, ie members of the worldwide Christian Church and followers of Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, are called not to be judgemental. In Matthew's gospel Jesus makes it very clear in his great Sermon on the Mount that, while we should certainly not condone false teaching, neither should we judge others. "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way as you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye. [Matthew 7: 1-5]
Sadly, even within the Christian Church there are some who would judge others harshly. Some even cite scripture (or a very narrow and blinkered interpretation of it) to somehow 'prove' their own prejudices and bigotted views about things like homosexuality, race, creed and so on. Jesus ministered to all equally and it is that ministry of love to which Christians should (and, for the most part, do) aspire.
Therefore, in answer to the question, Christians are not (or should not) be judgemental, but sadly there are a minority who call themselves Christian but who do not aspire to the true teachings of Jesus. However, don't be put off the true message of Christianity by the very few who totally miss the point and act more like the world acts rather than responding to Christ's message absolutely.

Why does Jimmy Swaggart say Catholics are not Christions and how can HE JUDGE?
I have heard many protestants say so. In Bolivia, where I live, it is even common among both Catholics and Protestants to simply call protestants "Christians" (as if Catholics weren't Christians). In my opinion, "Christians" would include both Protestants (diverse denominations) and Catholics. Of course you are right; he/they shouldn't be so judgemental. (Though I don't know for sure what exactly Jimmy Swaggart said.) The general idea is a belief that "All those that don't believe like me are infidels." Which of course is exactly the attitude you should have if what you want is to pick a fight.
