It's also implied that Chara was very self-hateful and suicidal. That may have been why the fire pokers in Toriel's house were dulled and the knives were hidden, so Chara couldn't hurt themselves, and it's heavily implied that Chara climed the mountain to kill themself. So, it wouldn't be too farfetched to believe that Chara refers to themself as a demon due to them having low self-esteem and self-loathing.
