Christians... why do you identify as Christian?

Not everyone goes thru a soul searching introspection of why they believe, Blue. Unless someone feels the need for that, they won't gain any benefit from doing that.

3. A modified/extended version of Pascal's wager.  In other words, it is safer to accept Jesus as the Son of God and be wrong than it is to reject Him and be wrong.  

Pascal's Wager doesn't really work in Christianity because it is a faith based religion, not a works based religion.

Most non-Protestant churches aren't Sola fide

That's a matter of emphasis more than anything else. Indeed, quite a few Protestants really need to read James 2:14-26. Faith without works is dead. Luther was reacting to the deviation from the proper balance between faith and works that had gone too far in the direction of works in the Roman Church, but it really ought to be prima fide, not sola fide.

Read the post again.  I wasn't applying Pascal's wager to the existence of God; I was applying it to the belief in Jesus as the Son of God.  I realize this wasn't the way it was originally used, but it still applies.

And why would it only apply to works-based religions?  Believing that God exists requires as much faith as believing that Jesus is His Son.

See Hosea 6:6 and other similar verses. The Abrahamic version of god is not interested in outward show, but sincere belief. A person whose reason for belief is Pascal's Wager does not strike me as being sincere. A god which is interested in the outward aspects such as works, can be propitiated by them regardless of the reason they are done.
