Not entirely accurate.
First, I don't even know what "Credo" is, so I feel safe in stating that it is not the summary of my dogma (yes, I am a Christian). Judging by the fact that the gibberish at the bottom of your post looks like Latin, I'm guessing you're referring to Catholics in particular. Please remember that "Christian" is a title given to everyone that is a follower of Christ. We don't always agree on the "right" way to do that, hence the division in the Church (i.e., Catholics, Protestants, even Mormons (though most Christians will deny that Mormons are Christians)). Please don't lump all Christians into the beliefs of some Catholics. Pretty much the only thing that all Christians agree on is that Jesus existed and was the son of God. Just about everything else is debated between the different denominations.
Second, as a general rule, we Christians believe in we will be resurrected, not reincarnated. Big difference. The Hindus believe in reincarnations, not Christians. Reincarnation indicates that you will be reborn into a new body. That is not the case in Christian resurrection.
