What does Kafir (infidel) mean in Islam?
My understanding of what kafir (infidel) means in Islam:
Kafir means someone who covers.
ie denies something.
If i show you that 1 + 1 =2 and you accept inside you but outwardly you don't accept it then you have gone into denial. Assuming i showed you convincingly but you chose to deny for some vested interest.
So if you disbelieve because this is what you were conditioned into then you have not become a kafir.
You're only kafir if someone shows you a convincing argument which internally you accept but outwardly you deny.
This is my understanding of kafir (infidel).
