Historically extending the interpretation of a religion still makes you a member of it so long as you arent contradicting the interpretation.

Non-denominational Christianity for example must include the core bible as a minimal canon, and ones interpretation of it must be that Jesus is the son of god.

Any other additional interpretations that are not at odds with the above minimums are still Christianity, they just become a specific form of it.|

Likewise the catholic denomination has its own internal divisions with different extended interpretations attached, each variation is still part of Catholicism.

So there is a lot of room for personal interpretation while still being considered part of the parent religion.

As for interpretations being right or wrong, it is an opinion which ones are right and which ones are wrong in the first place... so thats a rather moot point.
