Professed describes something a person claims or states openly about themselves, but the word often carries a little doubt - it hints that the claim might not be completely true. 'He is a professed vegetarian' means he says he's a vegetarian, though maybe he doesn't always keep to it. It comes from the verb 'profess,' meaning to openly declare a belief, feeling, or skill.
