You're confused, dear.
True Christians™ are perfect, according to the Bible and according to my personal experience. You see, once a man is Born Again (John 3:3), he becomes a new creature (2 Corinthians 5:17), one made of incorruptible seed (1 Peter 1:23), and that incorruptible seed means we
cannot be corrupted. It is a physical and spiritual impossibility:
Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him:
and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
1st John 3:6-9
You are mistaken about judging others as well. Not only has Jesus re-created us to be worthy to judge others, but we are commanded to do so (John 7:24). You see, without judging behavior as being sinful, no one would know how to instruct the sinner. This is for the good of the unregenerated soul, dear, and what God demands of His Elect:
I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
2nd Timothy 4:1-5
You would have us keep quiet, to the contrary of what Christ tells us. Your silly little encouragement to adopt a vague and meaningless faith that has no real concept of sin or forgiveness won't work here, ear.

Why? God doesn't.
The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
Psalm 5:5
The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
Psalm 11:5
