John,
Would it be true if we said that Cornelius was neither a Christian nor a Jew? and that since God gave him the holy Ghost, neither Judaism nor Christianity is required?

=========
Yes, Wendell. That is exactly the case. Of course, the religious system known as Christianity did not exist when God gave Cornelius the Spirit. So, that part of your question is irrelevant to the time. But it is relevant now, and I thank God for the souls to whom He has given the Spirit outside the white-washed walls of Christianity. Those saints are a living testimony of what God requires and what He does not.
