Jesus said ""There is none good but one, That is, God"" and i believe Him.. We humans can only be accounted as good by Faith in Jesus.. That being we are deemed righteous in Spirit .. But never in this flesh we down exist in...
So an acceptable Christian to God is one who believes Jesus and trusts 100% in the atonement that the LORD Jesus secured for their salvation..

Yes there are Christians who seem to be failing God more then others.. But in the End God knows who believes Him and who does not.. We can only observe and speculate..
Yes i know how you feel with that loneliness... One thing that isolated Christians in remote non- Christians societies seem to have is an overly idealistic view of how things are like in supposed ""Christian countries"" The sad fact of the matter is most of these supposed ""Christian nations"" are anything but Christian.. I live in a supposed Christian country and i can tell you that i hardly ever meet real Christians in my day to day life..
But i know that the Holy Spirit is with me
and as long as He is with me i am never Ever alone...

It doesn't matter what our opinions are. God is not a man but Spirit and Truth. If someone is deceptive, if they are purposely mocking God (like a wolf in sheep's clothing), they will expose themselves. "Out of the heart, the mouth speaks." If you listen with spiritual ears, rather than trusting your own understanding, the Lord reveals the truth of a matter.
"Ye shall know them by their fruits... every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit" (Matthew 7:15&17)
"Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world." (James 1:27)

"They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate" (Titus 1:16)

It seems to me that the closer one is in their relationship with Christ, the more they reflect Him to the world around them.
This is not easily faked for any length of time - though it probably is from time to time.
The less a person values what Jesus values, the more their opinions, actions and values tend to reflect the enemy.
The more I get to know Messiah Jesus, the better idea I (believe I) have of His grace, mercy, love, and truth when it is reflected in the lives of others.
Those who don't love Jesus, don't love the things He loves. They will probably argue instead.

I try not to judge (though it's easier said than done). You never know what is going on in people's lives. Tough times make people do stupid things. A lot of the time, you won't even know that their reason is the tough time. Personally when i go through the roughest of times and there have been a lot over the last year, I do stupid things. I drink too much, I lash out at people and a lot of other things. It's the heart of the person that makes them bad or good in my eyes. Actions can be justified. I'll never knock someone for doing something stupid.
Jesus defined that for us :
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”
Joh 13:34*-35 NKJV
