I think a better starting point in defining who is a Christian would be those that follow Jesus, seeking to live a Christ like life, knowing Jesus is the son of God and through him alone salvation is found. That sounds like a creed to me.
Everyone is creedal whether they admit it or not. The only difference appears to be the source of your creed.

The only difference appears to be the source of your creed.The creeds you had cited were all the result of a group of theologians getting together and arriving at a consensus concerning a theological issue. The earliest Christians were not governed by these creeds, but they were clearly followers of Jesus Christ.
