Peace be upon you. I have a question: Is a disbeliever considered impure according to my knowledge? Is a Christian considered a disbeliever? If I meet a Christian and greet him, and there is moisture or water on his hand, will my hand become impure?

Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei and Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may God protect them):
Anyone who adopts a religion other than Islam is considered a disbeliever, thus a Christian who does not follow Islam is deemed a disbeliever. However, he is a 'People of the Book' disbeliever and is ruled to be pure.
May you be successful in all good.
