Christians believe they are the ones going to heaven and judge others for everything in their beliefs and consider them non spiritual and hell bound!
Islam calls non-believers infidels and najis( unclean)?
How is any of this different from the caste system in hinduism which these religions always cite to bring down hinduism?

Basic difference is that in the caste system, an individual is born into a certain caste because of actions in a previous life, and is to stay in the caste for life. They can not change caste, they can not improve themselves, and any effort to help or improve the lot of someone in a lower caste is a sin.
In Christianity, the ability to "move up" is an essential part of the faith. Anyone can change from a non-believer with a single prayer of faith. From there, the potentials are unlimited. God is always calling his people to better things. Better marriages, better lifes, better morals, better relationships, etc. People are not bound to a certain "caste" or "fate" because of a past life, but rather can walk in the forgiveness and freedom of a new life.
So no, Christianity does not have a caste system.

You have got things mixed up.
Its like YOU asking a question like this : "does the judge in court practice the caste system if he gives one man (drug smuggler) a2yr sentence and one man (serial killer) life long sentence?"
Do firms practice the caste system by not employing some / giving smaller positions to some and manager's position to others.
God says clearly in the Quran " there is no compultion in religion"
Invitation to Islam is highly recommended.

Here is what I love about the message of Jesus. He says very specifically that the lowest members of any given society are the ones that God will ultimately bless. Think about Jesus saying, "Blessed are the poor, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." (Matt 5) Or, consider Him saying, "He who desires to be first will be last, and he who is last will be first in my kingdom." (Matt 19)
Or, Think about Jesus' words in Luke 4, where he says, "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed."
You are absolutely correct when you say Christianity has a "caste" system of sorts. But what's so great about that caste system is that (in theory at least) it is the poor, broken and oppressed people that are/will be at the top of the "pile."

Your question does not exactly make sense. To me, caste system means ''the haves and the have nots'' in life. I think most people tend to stay with their ''own kind''.

you are able to study greater. 'solid' isn't comparable to "sect". those are sects. Google the version between them. that's the rationalization why there are lots of bewilderment: lack of information of the staple products.

Ah... another non-Christian trying to tell Christians about their faith and the Bible. Give it up. You got it all wrong. Read the Bible.
