They would probably consider it a sect, even if they don't themselves. I plan that in the 4th Age, Ambarona pretty much becomes a super-state. You see, their relationship with Mordor is complicated. They hate Sauron, but find Mordor good allies. Until right after Pellenor Fields. Sauron, basically thiinking That the West was done for, sent the Eastern Mordoran Army and Easterlings to crush Ambarona. Ambarona however, savagely retaliated. During the siege of an Ambaronan border outpost, the Ambaronans basically convinced them to bend the knee and change sides. Ambarona slammed into Eastern Mordor with their new Easterling allies, and made Nurn pretty much burn, killing both slave and master. When Frodo destroyed the Ring, Ambarona basically overran Mordor, looting the fallen cities of Mordor and sacking the remains of the Barad-dur. As the Haradrim powers bent the knee to Gondor, the Ambaronans declared them traitors and heretics and in the War of the Valley overran the depleted Haradrim powers. The reunited kingdom was seeking to retain his new vassal, sent the Southern Army to reinforce Umbar and the Western citadels of the Harad. The two armies met, and an uneasy peace was declared. A line was drawn that divided east and west, and north and south, declaring zones of influence. Ambarona held Nurn, and gave the Gorgoroth valley to Gondor (it was completely looted, so they didn't find anything), and promised to acknowledge the sovereignty of Haradrim puppet states in the west Harad. The two powers, Ambarona and Reutnited Kingdom, both grew so large that it was kinda a case of "we are both the some of the biggest powers in Middle Earth, and a war between us would be so disastrous to both we might as well not."
