“How do you become a Christian (in words/terms understandable to an unbeliever)?”

To become a Christian, one should believe in the highest, ultimate power and name called God. One’s belief of God should be according to the Holy Bible. God should be perceived as purely good, perfect and without fault. One’s conscience, feeling or realization should be that one has done wrong, evil really, in life. God as purely good hates not the person, but that evil, and must judge it and punish it as righteous justice. One must believe they are guilty before good God, yet that our same loving God has provided the only solution. This being Jesus Christ, God walking the Earth as a man. As payment for the evil committed in one’s life, God’s wrath crucified and killed Jesus, so that we may live. Eternally alive now, one need not fear the default fate of suffering unimaginable torture forever when one dies. Instead, one looks forward to heaven with Jesus and all who believe God’s Holy Bible.

Acts 11:26
Authorized (King James) Version

26 and when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.

In the Orthodox Church i go to, we don't classify God as a 'Justful' God but as a Merciful God.
Mercy supersedes Justice, because Justice requires we all go to Hell.

You become a Christian right about the time you realize you are no more important than anybody else, and start caring about how the people around you are doing as much as you care how you are doing. The rest comes naturally.

Cornelius' only listed qualification was that he cared about the welfare of the Jews and did a lot to help them.

This also makes it easy to tell which alleged Christians aren't really. They are the ones who would rather despise other people than help them.
