Maybe context should be taken into account?

I have no problems with people calling themselves doctors (whether fake or real) unless they are doing so in order to gain a certain advantage (trust, credibility, etc).

I only have a problem when someone pretends to be a doctor if they're trying to profit or harm people in some way, by for example making medication or similar.
