Scientology and Primitive Christianity are compatible if one does a literal, fundamentalist reading of the New Testament. For example, the New Testament seeks to protects families except when Jesus decides that your family members are, err, suppressive and that disconnection is needed:
"Don't think I've come to make life cozy. I've come to cut — make a sharp knife-cut between son and father, daughter and mother, bride and mother-in-law—cut through these cozy domestic arrangements and free you for God. Well-meaning family members can be your worst enemies. If you prefer father or mother over me, you don't deserve me. If you prefer son or daughter over me, you don't deserve me.
Ref: Matthew 10:34-37, The Message
Jesus actually said this and you can check it out for yourself. However, Christian churches ignore this horrific verse and do not break up families - this although Jesus demanded it. Jesus did not want "well-meaning family members" getting in the way of a person's commitment to him. Christians, however, selectively apply scripture like all other religions. My point here is that many religious movements have brutal scriptures that force believers to separate themselves from non-believers. Scientology is hardly unique in this regard. This does not excuse its SP Doctrine, Disconnection, etc. but it shows that even the major religions do not brook dissent from within and will excommunicate people who do not agree. There have always been religious extremists, especially early in the history of a sect or a cult. This is why such groups have to moderate or become a fringe group that eventually disbands. The Church of Scientology is unique in that it has used religious brutality in uncommon and uncommonly expensive ways; most religions do not pursue outspoken former members or prominent critics and journalists with such pure hatred and an incredibly expensive private intelligence bureau.
Religious history argues that Scientology will continue to schism and that moderates will selectively apply scripture like all other religions. While Matthew 10:34-37 is part of Christianity's "SP Doctrine," while it is still a part of Holy Writ, it has been consigned to the dustbin in the everyday life of Christianity.
However, Christian Scientologist Pip may be forced to embrace Matthew 10:34-37 per the Data Series or whatever it is in CoS scripture that forces people to be insane and violent.

Another example of where Scientology and Primitive Christianity align is in terms of beating people. Jesus said:
The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour of which he does not know, and will punish him and cut him off and assign his lot with the unfaithful.
And that servant who knew his master's will but did not get ready or act as he would wish him to act shall be beaten with many lashes.
But he who did not know and did things worthy of a beating shall be beaten with few lashes. For everyone to whom much is given, of him shall much be required; and of him to whom men entrust much, they will require and demand all the more.
ref: Luke 12:46-48 The Amplified Bible.
Again, while still a part of Holy Writ, Luke 12:45-48 has also been consigned to the dustbin in the everyday life of Christianity. However, if the Christian Scientologist Pip needs a scriptural warrant to beat people he can quote this passage from Luke. He can then cite David Miscavige as his Scientology authority. In terms of justifying brutality, then, Pip has the best of both worlds as a Christian Scientologist. In this vein, David Miscavige would do well to become a Christian Scientologist.

Pip, good luck on being a Christian Scientologist.
A few questions for you though: Are you using auditing because Christ's Salvation is inadequate to help you?
If Christ died for your sins, then what is auditing about for you?
Are you trying to audit away your sin nature because the Holy Spirit has somehow failed to impart Christ's nature into you?
