Yes; a million times yes.

I have felt for years that this whole debate was really about linguistic fuzziness and people believing that they can take substantial positions in a debate internal to the language in which it is expressed. And, of course, believing that they have to.

Personally, though, I just use the term "Bayesian" because of the theorem and will continue to do that.
