    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.
