I think you are confusing the question: if I am consider myself a Christian, am I a Christian? with the fact of the matter. If one's belief is they are a Christian but they hold views that contradict Christianity, their belief is in error. At best they are a cultural Christian or nominal Christian. These two adjectives change the meaning to something other than a believer and follower in the central doctrines of a religion/ideology centered around Christ as revealed in the NT.
