I still disagree.
Living the life isnt simply enough either.
Did all of mandolore stop being mandolorians when they became peaceful and stopped doing the old ways?
What of foundlings that suddenly just became citizens in the city instead of soldiers?
Its more than just living the life too.
To deathwatch, yes they kind of did.
It depends when that became part of the creed, but foundlings didnt live on mandalore, but if they were raised a Mandalorian, then I could see them still adopting the title of a Mandalorian even if they stopped being a "soldier", because it's more than just being a soldier.
Jango predates deathwatch's creation.
Jango officially fought in the Mandolorian civil war as a commando. Boba doesnt say what side... but we know the outcome of that conflict was that the peace loving mandos won and mandolore became peaceful and no longer a combat based society.
Going back a step: Qui-gon and his padwan, Obi-wan, went to Mandolore to protect Satine during that original civil war conflict. So we know Jango left shortly after or during that and before episode 1 movie material.
As to Deathwatch, it was a group that formed from the exiles/losers of said civil war who would later regain control with the help of Maul and his brother... only to lose it to Maul. (This included Bo-katan herself)
Noone in what would be Deathwatch felt that they werent Mandolorians and noone on Mandolore recognized them as more than exiles.
Now lets look at Foundlings.
By Mandolorian creed, any Mandalorian warrior who found a child was dutybound to either reunite them with their kind or raise them until they were of age, acting as the child's parent.
When the foundling came of age, if he/she had not yet been reunited with its kind, they could decide to leave or join the Mandalorians. Mandalorians who had been foundlings were treated no differently than any other Mandalorians, possessing the right to bear their armor and even to form their own clans. (If the child and mando were a clan of two... then jango and boba could be as well)
As a side note, before the empire wiped out the Mandolorians, foundlings could and did live on Mandolore.
So how does it all work:
It seems you are either born of mandolorians and automatcially become one or... you are found by one and raised by them as if you are their child. You then get to choose when you get older.
Now certain groups may require you live "the way", but agin thats extremist type groups.
All that said.
Boba has every right to be a Mandolorian and is only denied it for 2 reasons.... 1) Bo-Katan does not care for clones (Clone-ist?) And basically feels his father raising him doesnt count
2) His father figure was killed before he could decide his own fate at the right age.
Technically speaking Boba would always have the right to lay claim to the title Mandolorian as he was being raised by a Mandolorian and he would then deserve to be given the right to choose when he came of age.
He says hes never claimed to be... not that he is not or does not want to be.
And quite clearly Bo-Katan is scared of his skills. He has a code he is following, hence the helping Mando and the Child.... but he has hidden goals that are unclear.
