Oh gosh, that just sounds funny!!!
So that's good - we don't ID believers as sinners!
Hey, I know brothers that very occasionally may say, "Well I am a sinner after all" and I don't jump all over them. I think it's something the Lord has to show us. (although I have at times also pointed out to ones that "sinner" is not their ID, and perhaps also not as gently as I should have . . .)
