Christian
'der Christ' (male Christian) and 'die Christin' (female Christian) both refer to a person who belongs to the Christian religion. The main difference is gender: 'der Christ' means a man, 'die Christin' a woman. They can be confused because both belong to the same religion and look very similar. If the gender is known and important, use the correct form. For a group, people often use 'Christen' even when both men and women are meant.
