If one defined being a true christian as showing compassion and kindness, then doing that would net them good karma, I think.
No Buddhist I know has the kind of "join us or suffer" attitude a lot of other religions (or belief structures in general) have.

That being said, if a person who could follow all the tenants of the Bible (or Torah, or Qur'an) to an acceptable degree (and without contradiction) could even exist, I'm not sure their first concern would be compassion. The moral contents of the bible frequently worry me. Possibly to an irrational and unreasonable extent.
