never said they were. If I opened a catholic church, would you expect a lutheran congregation?

My point is, that if they were called Christians, they would not be called Catholics. Americans are not called Europeans as the Catholic Church is not referred to as the Roman Christian Church.

This statement seems to imply mutual exclusion.

As you are of course aware, Catholics are in fact called Christians, and they are in fact Catholic. This post started as there appears to be a local chapter of an organization which may be attempting to imply that Catholics are not Christians.
