I can't, but then I don't speak for everyone else, just for me.Who am I to pass judgment on other people? If there is no absolute definition of "Christian" then how could I possibly pontificate on who is and is not? Yeah, so what? If you cannot define it in its ENTIRETY then you cannot make any valid statements about the vast majority of it that you CANNOT DEFINE. It's like the blind men examining the elephant.Metaphysics is as amorphous and vaporous as religion, you cannot make any demonstrably valid point with either of them. You cannot show that there are "other ORDERS OF EXISTENCE".Before you can make the bolded statement truthfully, you will have to prove that "inanimate" objects even exist vis a vis "animate" objects. Everything in the Universe appears to be made up of energy, so defining inanimate energy from animate energy is probably impossible. The "distinctness" to which you refer is a mental construct useful for delineating differences in systems like mathematics, but it doesn't exist demonstrably in the physical Universe.
