Depends on how early your ECFs were, till Constantine, European Christians did not see Jesus as divine and were not especially anti semitic. AS only arose, post Constantine, when Rome needed a scape goat, as Christianised Romans were never gonna accept that they had killed the Son of God!Messiah is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe priests and kings, who were traditionally anointed with holy anointing oil as described in Exodus 30:22-25. For example, Cyrus the Great, the king of Persia, though not a Hebrew, is referred to as "God's anointed" (messiah). In later Jewish messianic tradition and eschatology, messiah refers to a leader anointed by God, and in some cases, a future King of Israel, physically descended from the Davidic line, who will rule the people of a united tribes of Israel[2] and herald the Messianic Age[3] of global peace. In Judaism, the Messiah is not considered to be God or a Son of God.

Nor in Islam, nor in first generation European, ie, pre Constantinian Christianity.
Thus Min there is no requirement for physical anointment.In later Jewish messianic tradition and eschatology, messiah refers to a leader anointed by God, and in some cases, a future King of Israel, physically descended from the Davidic line, who will rule the people of a united tribes of Israel[2] and herald the Messianic Age[3] of global peace.
