Usage notes
Due to Dutch en pillarisation (nl verzuiling), id Kristen refers to non-en Roman Catholic Christianity in general, specifically to en Protestantism. Catholicism and Catholics are specifically termed Katolik.
id Nasrani is seldom used as a self-designation by Christians and is widely considered politically incorrect. Since this word is the word used for “Christian” in the Quran and hadeeth, it retains some currency in Islamic religious discourse.
