True Christian believers are respected in Islam, just as the Jews are. They are both mentioned throughout the Qur'an as "Ahl-al-Ketab" or People of the Book. The question is, how many are there in the world today?
Christians who have been made to believe, by the leaders of their respective Churches, that Christ is the Lord, Trinity, or Son of God are "Mushrikeen" in Islam. They are not any different from polytheists or people who worship multiple Gods, like the Ancient Romans, Greeks or Egyptians.
Jesus (PBUH) did not preach this. He preached a message of truth to his people, or the worship of One and only One God.
The First Council of Nicaea changed things for Christianity. It solidified the already existing conjecture of the divinity of Christ, but this is unfortunately not what the Messiah (PBUH) preached.

By the time I answer this, you definitely already know that the Christians are considered infidel by Muslims from all the answers given above. I am sorry to say that yes, it is the truth.
However, if I may add, Christian is no far from Islam itself. Christian too comes from Islam - the very same root. Bible and Quran are quite similar in a way, and only few points could be brought up to distiguish those two.
I believe everyone has doubt or unanswered curiosity of their religions (Islam and Christian in this context), however from what I have gone through, (sorry to say this) those doubts in Bible could be answered by the Quran. Maybe when we could find the difference of belief between these two religions, and evaluate it by our logical minds, we would know which is the best for us.
I do read Quran and Bible, and I respect both religions.

You are not considered and infidel as long as you believe in god.
Christians and jews believe in god there for they are not infidels, they are called the people of the book in the quran.

The First Council of Nicaea didn't change anything concerning Trinity, it was already there in John 20:31:
"But these miracles have been written so that you will believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and so that you will have life by believing in him".

no its totally wrong. Christian and Jews are descendent from ABRAHIM’s son Ishaq where as Muslims are descendant from his son Ishmael. So in fact they are all brothers and Muslim respect Jesus and mosses more than their own prophet.
Their religion cant complete and they cant be a true Muslim if they don’t respect Jesus and Moses
