call as
Hi
Please tell me if my reasoning is correct
1. I remember learning we do not use as after call as it used shown here.
We called him the messiah.
2.But I think as after call seems OK here as the name given is not commonly used to address the people.
Gandhi called the untouchables as the Harijan, the children of God.

Thank you, Blue Jay.
It can be understood this way:
When we call someone using a name it is straight the name and thus as is not required. Am I correct?
