for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, we have records of all members and we just count those that are living, not their children...
When a child becomes old enough to be accountable for their own sins (normally age 8) then they can become a member of the Church through Baptism...
Now... do you consider a child that is being raised Christian... as a Christian? I would think so, but they are not in any head count until they become members themselves.

Since I have so many I do a head count before we go anywhere to make sure I have all of them. I have one child that is a Catholic and one that is an Atheist. I love them all and they all love each other, in fact those two are really close to each other. It's called RESPECT.
All paths to seeking the TRUTH lead to the same finish line, whether you like it or not. Whether I like it or not. So none of the arguments matter.

No I don't count my children's head, that is a decision that they have to make, all I can do is teach them the way we are to live, and pray that God will guide them the rest of the way. Please do not confuse Christians with religious fanatics, there is a difference. We love God with everything we have our hearts, body, and soul. We have an undying hunger for His message, but a true Christian, will never belittle, degrade, pass judgement, kill, or intentional hurt anyone. A true Christian always tries to follow the footsteps of Jesus, and Love everyone, irregardless of what they say, do, or think. God is the only judge, we are not pure enough to judge anyone.
