Catholic AnswerThe Church has always taught "Extra Ecclesiam, nulla salus" (outside the Church, no salvation). The Church has always taught, and the Second Vatican Council made it explicit that there are members of the Church (i.e. "Christians") who are not visible members of the Church. However, to be considered a "Christian" is someone who believes in Our Blessed Lord, is validly baptized, and professes the Nicene Creed in its traditional interpretation. In other words, it is possible that there are people who are Christian who are not part of the visible Catholic Church..
That said, one must take into consideration the way the word "Christian" is used in the 21st century.

from A Catholic Dictionary, edited by Donald Attwater, Second edition, revised 1957
A name first given to the followers of our Lord at Antioch (Acts xi, 26). Since the rise of Protestantism the name has been used in so many different senses as to have become almost meaningless: it may indicate a Catholic or a Unitarian, or even be applied to an infidel who displays some virtue which is associated with Christ. It may reasonably be applied to the members of all the ancient churches, whether in communion with the Holy See, or not, and to those Protestants who profess, explicitly or implicitly, the Nicaean creed in its traditional interpretation. The Church puts no definite official meaning on the word, as she does on Catholic.
