It's my understanding that God's angels are called cherubim, and the Devil's angels are called demons. Is this true?

"Impossible" has the titles right but he forgot to mention that the whole thing is all just a bunch of rot... all nonsense and fairytales. So, in fact, nothing is actually "true" when it comes to speaking of angels.

There are angels and archangels. It seems the archangels are called that because they have special positions or tasks.
Cherubim and Seraphim would seem to be different kinds of heavenly "beings". Perhaps to our earth-bound thinking they might be angelic (angel-like). Read in the Tanakh (O.T.) the descriptions of Seraphim and Cherubim ... how many wings, what they do with them, etc. [And the suffix "im" is the Hebraic way of indicating plural. So Seraph is singular, Seraphim is plural, etc.]
IN the O.T. there is mention of the "devil and his angels"; that surprises many for they think only of angels as being so "good". But it does seem you are right in that the demons ('devils') are fallen angels (i.e., the angels who fell in the satanic rebellion and follow satan).

Okay, well it is sort of true depending on who you ask. There is no "set" rules for naming angels. And everyone has a theory or a concept.
Demons are typically associated as fallen angels serving under the devil. But then I have also heard them referred to as pre fall (of Man) people's spirits, which is pretty ridiculus.
And as for naming angels, the Catholic church wrote a book describing the made up hierarchy of angels. Off base too. So I would just go with calling angels angels and demons demons.
That might not of helped but I tried...

As with the visible creation, so also in the invisible realm there is order and rank among the angels. The foremost angel, both in power and authority, is Michael, the archangel. (Da 10:13, 21; 12:1; Jude 9; Re 12:7;) Because of his preeminence and his being called "the great prince who is standing in behalf of the sons of [God's] people," he is presumed to be the angel that led Israel through the wilderness. (Ex 23:20-23) Ranking very high among the angels in privileges and honor are the seraphs. (Isa 6:2, 6;) More frequently (some 90 times), the Scriptures mention the cherubs, and from the description of their duties and responsibilities it is apparent that they, too, hold a special position among the angels. (Ge 3:24; Eze 10:1-22;) Then there is the great body of angelic messengers who serve as a means of communication between God and man. However, they do more than simply relay messages. As agents and deputies of the Most High God, they serve as responsible executioners of the divine purpose, be it protection and deliverance of God's people or destruction of the wicked.-Ge 19:1-26.

There are cherubim and seraphim and archangels. Fallen angels, including satan are called devils or demons.

Yes, but it's more like a title, such as your "guardian" angel, and there are many more.
