Do we really have to redefine our terms because some people don't know enough to figure such things out correctly? Political correctness run amok!

Where in the world do you get political correctness out of this? You don't "have" to redefine anything if you use the term and don't care what the theologically uneducated think. I am just saying that to the average uneducated American Christian, the term, by itself, will lead to thoughts of your faith that you would say are completely wrong. If that is fine with you, then OK. If it isn't and you still want to use the term, then you will have to offer an explanation to go with it for the uneducated.
I am not sure what you expect of an uneducated person in terms of "figuring it out". On its face, the term does appear to stand by itself. Were I an average uneducated Christian and heard that your faith strongly stands behind that term, I would just dismiss your faith outright as a cult or something. I would be wrong, of course, but I do think it would be a "normal" reaction.
