Salvation is a relationship, not a religion. God is our Father. Jesus is our brother. That is all I meant.
James 1:26-27 "If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. Pure religion and undefiled before the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world."
So I guess one of the people's religion is vanity and the other one's is the relationship. So, they aren't of the same religion but they think they are. Or, at least they pretend to think they are.
