Jew Complete Me

Just what do you call a Jewish person who becomes an evangelical Christian?  According to a Christian acquaintance, such a person is referred to as a completed Jew.  She told me this without the slightest tinge of irony.  Actually, she thought I, as a Jew, would feel some sort of kinship with these former Jews, that I would somehow be pleased with the news.  Frankly, I found the whole idea offensive. 

Look, I don’t care if someone is a Jew or a Christian or an atheist, but don’t tell me that a regular Jew is incomplete somehow.  If they become complete as they say, then they are no kind of Jew anymore.
