Of course Catholics consider themselves to be Christians. After all, they were the original Christian Church.
Roman Catholic AnswerThe question should be: can anyone who is not Catholic consider themselves a Christian? And the answer would be, anyone who is validly baptised and believes in the Nicene Creed in its original interpretation is a Christian, because they are part of the Catholic Church. The current usage where almost anyone can call themselves a "Christian" is to be deplored as to do that they are redefining who our Blessed Lord was and is, in His Mystical Body, which is the Catholic Church.

Evangelical Catholics may include Eastern Rite Catholic Churches or other churches that are not Roman Catholic, such as Anglican, Lutheran, Reformed, Baptist, or Pentecostal.
