Notre Dame, as well as all Catholic Colleges, warmly welcome atheists as well as students of all religions.

Not generally a sign of a Christian school if they're that inclusive. Christianity is exclusive (I am the the Way, the Truth and the Light. No man comes to the Father, but by me. -Jesus). Anyone who tells you otherwise either doesn't read the Bible, doesn't believe the Bible or contextualizes it.
All Catholics are not Christian. All Baptists are not Christian. Protestants stress "salvation by fath-alone." Whether you want to call it "saved" or "born-again" this notion comes by verses like "For by grace are we saved through faith, not of ourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast," and "If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus Christ and believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." Of course, I acknowledge verses like "Faith without works is dead," but you have to be careful to not strip the faith part.
I'd consider anyone a Christian that has the faith as outlined in the first two verses.
