I'm curious, what is actually the point of reserving the right to think someone is not a Christian? What good does that actually serve anyone?

I do not ask these questions polemically... I am genuinely interested in this, because I was quite fervent about categorizing people in my Christian days... mostly to determine whether or not I needed to "witness" to them or not. I couldn't see them as just being human, same as me. These days I care much more about a person's character overall now, not about what label they are under.
