I think someone is still a utilitarian if instead of 2 they believe something like
2') One decision is morally better than another if it yields greater expected total utility.
(In particular, I don't think it's necessary for a moral theory to be based on a notion of moral requirement as opposed to one of moral preference.)
Um, what's the difference?
It's possible to believe some action is morally better than another without feeling it's required of you to do it.
