Yes, we're theists. Unfortunately most people think theist=monotheist. Polytheism is a form of theism.

Technically, yes. Although you are considered a polytheist because you believe in multiple gods.

Of course you would be qualified as a Theist. A theist is a person that believes in god ...... so a person who believes in multiple gods is still a theist.

Yep.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theist
Polytheism is a subset of Theism.
However, most people specify "polytheist" when they mean that specifically, and often times, though not always, "theist" is geared toward monotheists.

Yes. A Theist is simply someone who believes in a deity.

Poly_theist_. Yes, you are. Theism != Monotheism
Theism is any belief in god(ess)((e)s) (I think I covered all my bases there.)
