Each and every philosopher of religion considers them Christians. Your definition of Christianity is frankly a quite bizarre one.There's no "now" about it, I've considered Catholics to be Catholics and not Christians for a very long time. Philosophers are pretty dumb anyway, who cares what they think!
You want me to define the precise difference between "real Christian" and "pseudo Christian"? A true Christian 1. has accepted Jesus Christ as their Saviour, 2. repents of their sins before God. A true Christian is "born again" (John 3:3-7). Any person who yokes that message together with another message is not a true Christian. Most protestant churches don't do this. Some churches are a little strong on legalism or on other aspects that do somewhat distort the message of Christ, but unless they are preaching something which specifically affects or would be required for salvation their message is still true, however imperfect the denomination itself may be.

Literalism is irrelevant, the message remains true whether or not the event is entirely literal or not. YECs can have their - as I view it absurd - belief that God really did create the Earth 6,000 years ago, that doesn't affect the truth and message of the Bible it just affects whether they believe in YECism or not.
