      Yes.

      Profess: 1) To affirm openly; declare or claim. 2) To make a pretense of; pretend.

      If one makes a pretense of holding beliefs, feelings, or values that one does not hold, one is a hypocrite.

      Whether anyone else understands the pretenses of the hypocrite or not does not change the definitions of the words.
