In a later post to this the term 'true scientist' is used. For myself I wouldn't consider people with engineering, medical, psychology, engineering, food science, anthropology, philosophy, linguistics, anesthesiology, etcetera, to be 'true scientists' simply by having a degree. You can do quite well in many of these fields without understanding science well. Many people in the science related fields might be better described as technicians rather than scientists.
I bet you dollars to donuts it wouldn't be hard to get a longer list of 'science professionals' who believe in alien visitation, ghosts, psychic abilities, or alternative medicine.
