Those terms (as used in the compatibilism debate) can't adequately account for my position. I can't answer your question as stated according to your understanding of the terms because what you mean by compatibilism is based also on your understanding of determinism and necessity which I do not find adequate (and we haven't even begun to tease out the details about freedom, self-determination and will).
