Best Answer

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 roman Catholic church?

The term Evangelical Catholic is used by Christians who consider themselves both "catholic" and "evangelical." Evangelical Catholic (catholic is the noun with evangelical modifying) can refer to: evangelical Protestant Christians who consider themselves catholic Christians that identify with the historic Christian Church, who believe that the early ecumenical councils and the Protestant Reformation were both part of the progressive illumination of the Holy Spirit; Roman Catholics who want to identify themselves more closely with evangelical Protestants with similar ecumenical ideals and "progressive illumination"; Catholics who simply want to define themselves according to a penchant for evangelism. Evangelical Catholics may include Eastern Rite Catholic Churches or other churches that are not Roman Catholic, such as Anglican, Lutheran, Reformed, Baptist, or Pentecostal.
