Conventionally, the label applies to members of the Church of Scientology, and to Free Zone (those who practice outside the Church) who maintain their constitutional right to call themselves Scientologists.
The words "Scientologist" and "Scientologists" are used by individuals to indicate that they practice the religion of Scientology, with or without the official church's approval.
Additional lists of Scientologists can be found at List of Scientologists. See also Scientologists, and Category:Former Scientologists.
