It's not uncommon, although very unpopular to bring up at dinner parties, for members of some trauma induced multiple systems to identify as demonic, especially if their upbringing was particularly christian. Contrary to some views espoused by the satanic panic people, some their origin actually may come from christianity-themed abuse, in which the person doesn't feel they can look for help in that direction, so they begin to look in the other direction.
Whether or not these are actually demons coming in to protect the person from abuse, or simply a matter of self-identification, or both, is something that is difficult to discern, especially if you believe in the psyche's ability to shape the world around it.
