Jesus was 100% Jewish circa year zero. Observed Torah, went to and taught at synagogues, celebrated Hannukkah, ate a kosher diet, etc. But Christians don’t follow Jesus’s own religious practices.

The obvious meaning of someone saying “year 0 doesn’t exist” is that the Gregorian calendar does not have a year 0; the year before 1 AD is 1 BC. It’s not a math thing, it’s a protocol thing.
Your point on consistency is just wrong. There is no reason that “believing years exist” would necessarily imply “believing all numbered years exist”
Then the comment should have mentioned the Gregorian calendar. It’s not the only calendar there is.
