The Lord has made my life more meaningful, no more fear, the peace that only He can give, the wonderful change in me, that only He can accomplish through His Holy Spirit, He is wonderful and I have never been so happy in my life. He helps me through challenges, and knows what is best for me. :)

Yes....because I know there has been a change in me that is confirmed in the scriptures...2 Corinthians 5:17 "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! "....and..." if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. As the Scripture says, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame.”(Romans 10:9-11)
I don't get hung up on people's theology except for the above. That is what makes you a Christian, not whether you believe in the trinity or not, not whether you believe in hell or not. I believe God just shakes his head over people arguing over issues that we will not resolve in this life. (1 Corinthians 13:12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.) I am satisfied that I will know one day and instead, focus on what is important.

John says we can know we are saved:
1 John 5:13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.
A few verses before, he states there is a "testimony" to salvation:
1 John 5:8 And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one.
Here, the Spirit is a reference to God's revelation (today, the BIble), the water is a reference to baptism (generically, obedience), and the blood is the purchase of the covenant (Christ's work on the cross)

No.
And I don't claim to know who is or isn't. Not my job. I'll let you guys scream at each other over it for the next thousand years. I just accept anyone who claims to be a Chistian as a "true" Christian.

Well, "true" Christian is an invented term to make it seem that some Christians are better then others.
I believe that Jesus Christ is the Messiah, and so I am a Christian.
Btw, that is the truth.

I know that I know that I know.
1Cr 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
1Cr 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
1Cr 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

No I am not any sort of christian and it always amuses me how some give themselves this label as a way of trying to feel superior.
