Let say that you follow a certain religion i will name it (A) and you also believe in the concept of heaven and hell and since you are a follower of religion (A) eventually you will go to heaven and you stand for such a believe.
Now let say that you were actually born in a different place of the world different parents different religious believes and by default i may say you became a follower of (B) religion.
How exactlly would you evaluate your self as a follower of relgion (B) being a follower of relgion (A)?

I am a LDS. Let us say I was born in Asia and I was a Buddhist.. Firstly, I would have the genetic differences, thus I would no longer be myself. In addition my environment would be different, I would never have learned what I now know. I could just as well compare how Buddhist compare LDS now. Since I would no longer be the same person I would probably view my religion in much the same way they view my religion. I am sure if you were born in a similar environment you would also be different.

Since ,there are different religions, it is quite natural for us to think, what we follow is correct and others are wrong. You will surprised to hear that Islam is the only religion that tells people to be satisfied by its concepts first and then except it. It has given u the full right to question about the things that u didn't understand.

Basically most religions are just cultural phenomena. IE, if you are born in a Muslim society you will be Muslim, born in a Christian society you will probably be Christian. It shows the nonsense that all religions are. After all if the 'truth' is dependent on the people who are around you when you are both then all 'truth' is relative. This leads to a contradiction.
There are some exceptions to this. They are people who study the religions and find that their beliefs are more like those in another area. Buddhism is the one most adopted in that way.

I would explain it by saying; being born into religion B set me on the path to finding and accepting religion A.

This is kinda confusing. We cant see you, so dont be embarressed to come ask what you need to know. I'll try to answer,..I was rasied by a family of very contrasting beliefs. I had to ask God to reveal the truth to me. And that is why I believe what I do, because of what I know, through completely surrendering myself to the One, who knows more than a or b. I pray the the One God of all creation, will show you the way, and guide you to His truth, His light and His way.

Depends on what is on your heart. There are alot of Chrtistins who still look like Muslims in order to fit into their family and evangelise in their community.

i think whatever religion that is deep in your heart and the one that you feel and understand the most should be the one you follow.
