It depends on what one means by a true christian. If you're talking about the turning their lives over fully to Jesus, truly repenting of "sin", John Macarthur type of christian then its way less than 5%.

If we're just talking about those who truly believe, genuinely try and do good and go to church regularly its higher than that.

Most christians do half arse it though which makes the least sense of any decision about religion. If you claim to believe in hell and arent fully committed to a belief that supposedly saves you from it, I assert youre a goddamn lunatic.

"I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot; I wish that you were cold or hot. So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth." - Revelation 3:16

I find it funny that that verse is chapter 3, verse 16, because I feel like people throwing John 3:16 around so freely contributes heavily to that mindset.
