Confusion Within Christianity

Do you call yourself 'Christian' because you are part of the crowd or do you call yourself 'Christian' because you are actually saved? There are too many people going around and saying, ''I'm a Christian' and it is confusing those who claim they are not Christians. Everyone is a Christian these days, but their 'faith' is lacking the actual substance and that is Jesus. Those who are not claiming to be Christians, but every Christian into 2 stereotypes: the holier-than-thou Christians and the I'm saved but I can live my life the way I want to Christians. What they really don't see are those who are in between the 2, and are actually saved. When you were saved, what was the reasoning behind your salvation? Was it because someone led you into prayer or because you were actually repenting your sins to God and asking for forgiveness?
