If I recall, I think you have it...kinda.  I remember listening to them as
radio dramas (I figured that if I was going to talk about them, I should
at least know what I'm talking about.), and the way it worked was that if
you became a Christian, a mark appeared that only other Christians could
see.  Very much in the vein of understanding belief in Christ as a single
event.  I didn't listen much beyond that point, but it was a sort of
a wink-wink as to when you were dealing with other Christians.

Fun stuff to build plot points around, but yeesh.
