For Christians, is "infidel" an antiquated expression? If so, what is the current term?

The word "infidel" shows up twice in the King James Version. 2Cor. 6:15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 1Tim. 5:8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel. I checked several newer translations at biblegateway.com and all use "unbeliever". Here's the Greek word and definition using the Goodrick/Kohlenberger numbers: 603 [571] a‡pistoß, apistos, a. [1.1 + 4412]. unbelieving, lacking in trust, doubting; as a noun: an unbeliever or outsider, one who does not believe the Gospel Feb 22 10, 1:30 AM
