She's a Christian!

Last saturday, my housemates and me watched 1 VS 100. Edu was about to introduce the next player when I had to go to the kitchen to get myself a glass of water. I heard one of my housemate exclaimed "She's a Christian!". My ears instantly stood up. I looked at the TV and saw Ms. Chin-chin Guttierez. Ok, so she is. Being a conscious being, I look at them and told them FYI that everyone in the Philippines is, except for Muslims, we are predominantly Christians.

Now I get what she meant, it's their way of saying that she is a Protestant. I can't understand why they label someone as Christian to identify the person as not Catholic? Do they mean that being Catholic is being not a Christian? Is this a kind of discrimination to Catholics?

I'm not sure but I'm out!
