Yes, according to the daffynition you chose, but you did not include all it
and omitted the part you did not like.
You stated that the word came from the Latin word, Credo,
crēdo transitive and intransitive verb III conjugation

Q:On Sundays and holy days of obligation, we recite the Nicene Creed. We
begin by saying, “We believe in one God….” Although this is the first
person plural, this prayer’s Latin text reads “Credo” (“I believe,”
first person singular). Who made this change and by what authority?
A: What we commonly call the Creed is technically called a Profession of
Faith. That is the heading used in the Sacramentary, the liturgical book used
by the priest for prayers at Mass.
You are correct that the Latin text indicates the first person singular.
Whose faith, however, is being professed at Mass—that of an individual,
isolated believer or that of many believers sharing a common faith?
Historically, the Profession of Faith was written for an adult about to
receive the Sacrament of Baptism. From memory, he or she recited this prayer
to show an acceptance of what the Church believes. Only an individual person
could pray that Profession of Faith.
====================================
It is a requirement.
What Is the Nicene Creed and Why Is It Important?
The term “creed” comes from the Latin word “credo,” which translates
to “I believe.” A creed is a commitment to a specific belief, and the
Catechism of the Catholic Church
(
https://catholicworldmission.org/catholic-church-timeline/) identifies a
creed as a symbol of faith.
The Catholic Church recognizes three creeds, including the Apostles’ Creed,
Athanasian Creed and the Nicene-Constantinople Creed. The Apostles’ Creed
and Nicene Creed are more common in the Church. On the other hand, the
lesser-known Athanasian Creed is rare within the Church.
================================================
Flat straight out, this is a document of man, a religious document of a
religion that one prescribed to.
It is NOT a statement of ones personal belief that was God ordained.
It is a statement of beliefs that is prescribed by the church. To Prove that
point the higher ups in religions of men argued these points as to what was
correct or not, modified them over the centuries, and even still some have
difficulties with parts of it, that are fully part of what a person states
when they say, "I or WE Believe". You are not considered a Christian if you
cannot or will not swear to believe the creed.
By simply swearing this oath that you believe the Creed you are following the
whims of men. Which pretends to be ordained of the Bible. Are some parts of
it biblical? Yes, but not all of it, and the adherents do not really know
where in the Bible such points are made or denied. Again, therefor, they are
repeating a creed and their faith is in the originators of that Creed, not
the Bible, Not the word of God, but of pontificating man. The "WE" PART
throws you into a mass and is not of a personal nature.
============================================================
Who Wrote the Catholic Nicene Creed?
The original Nicene Creed dates back to 325 at the First Council of Nicaea,
the first ecumenical council of the Christian Church that met in ancient
Nicaea, now known as Iznik, Turkey. Emperor Constantine I called the council,
presiding over the opening session and participating in the discussion.
Constantine hoped a council would help solve the issues resulting from
Arianism, a heresy proposed by Arius of Alexandria suggesting Christ was not
divine but a created being. The council quickly condemned Arius and
incorporated the nonspiritual word “homoousios,” meaning “of one
substance,” into a creed, signifying the equality of the Son with the
Father. Constantine exiled Arius for his heretical beliefs.
While the Council of Nicaea promulgated the Creed of Nicaea in 325, the
Council of Constantinople in 381 expanded it. The goal was to bring the Creed
of Nicaea up to date regarding heresies related to the incarnation and the
Holy Spirit, which arose at the Council of Nicaea.
What Is the Meaning of the Nicene Creed for Catholics?
While the Nicene Creed is meaningful as a whole, understanding each line can
help us strengthen our relationship with God and understand the importance of
reciting the Nicene Creed.
=====================================================
Clearly this is a product of man and their religious decree. This is the
belief of men and their basis for declaring others heretics. This CANNOT
strengthen anyones relationship with God, but only the religious church of
man, have a form of Godliness, but putting their power to it, not God.
You religious fanatics have been conned, and dare not read the Bible, the
Word of God, lest you be condemned in your own heart. That is why the pseudo
christian lets others read it, so that God cannot speak to them directly.
Just like the Israelis in the desert did "lest they die". Problem is, you are
already dead in your trespasses and sins and your think this is a way of
placating God with your pretense of righteousness. So you are comfortable
sitting there in a pot of tepid water and when it comes to a boil and you
die, only to fully waken to your spiritual eternal death does it hit you full
force and you see your proverbial 70 virgins are all well used and diseased
whores cackling at you with their shrill voices for an eternity.
