The Polemics of Infant Baptism

althought I belong to a Wesleyan church one poster said I was an anabaptist..I have no problem with that!

I was only joking. Although there were some anabaptist elements that were pretty orthodox Christians, quite a number were very strange and unscriptural. Early Baptists worked hard to dispel the notion that they were anabaptists, given the general un-Christian reputation the most infamous anabaptists had earned in continental Europe. The odium attached to anabaptists persists to this day. Their modern descendents do not call themselves anabaptist even though their anabaptist roots are well-known.

You are not an anabaptist IMO. Merely a person who has rejected a falsely regenerative infant baptism ritual and instead correctly embraced believer's baptism as your own personal claim to the cross of Christ and as your personal and public testimony of faith in Him.
