What is a Christian? Are Christians just perfected Jews on the fast track program?

A few days ago I watched a youtube video of an Ann Coulter interview, where she gave what I found to be a disturbing definition of Christianity. This is a woman who speaks at "mega churches". Ann Coulter wants Jews "to be perfected", is the actual video clip. Ann Coulter's Wikipedi page gave a summery of the views she expressed on Donny Deutsch CNBC talk, and qouted below. How many "Christians do you suppose, hold the same view as Ms. Coulter? On 8 October 2007, when Coulter was talking about Republicans with Donny Deutsch, a CNBC talk-show host who is Jewish, she implied that she considered Christianity a virtue, which prompted Deutsch to ask her, "It would be better if we were all Christian?", to which Coulter replied "Yes". Deutsch asked her, "We should all be Christian?", and got the same response, with an invitation to come to church. Later on, Coulter said, "we just want Jews to be perfected, as they say", saying that this was what Christianity was, and she compared the New Testament to Federal Express. Further, Coulter said that Christians considered themselves to be perfected Jews. Deutsch implied that this was an anti-Semitic remark, but Coulter said she didn't consider it to be a hateful comment

Paul spoke of Jews and Gentiles and Christianity using the grafted branch analogy. See Romans 11. Paul likens the remnant in Israel to a noble olive tree, some of whose branches have been broken off. He compares the Gentiles to branches from a wild olive tree, grafted into the parent stock. See AA 377. By faith we become children of Abraham, part of the original olive tree, nourished by the same root, Jesus Christ. This, it would seem, means Christians are spiritual Jews, right?
Romans
11:24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural [branches], be grafted into their own olive tree?
Romans
9:8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these [are] not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
Galatians
3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
3:29 And if ye [be] Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Most Jews today appear to be cultural Jews, and Christianity's virtue is its predominantly devotional and practised community, so is that Donny Deutsch a cultural or also a religious Jew?
The fulfilment of Judaism in Jesus defines Christians indeed as a majority Gentile group, in which Jews themselves are involved as fulfilled Jews. This is best expressed perhaps in the passover meal transformed with a Christian meaning: Jewish history in its Christian fulfilment;generally, joining the Christian walk with all the Gentiles who're there too. "Perfected" Jews doesn't sound quite right.
Fast track programme?...Only the appearance of Jewish history since Calvary making it harder for Jews to break with culture and tradition. No-one's on a fast track programme,...except perhaps Adventism being on the advanced course of salvation teaching compared to other Christians.
