I don't think that being the descendant of a Calaquendi makes you a Calaquendi, but I do not dispute that being the descendant of a Noldor makes you a Noldor as well, it is still the same 'culture'.
Thingol was counted among the Calaquendi because he was one of three emissaries (Ingwe, Finwe, and Elwe=Thingol) who went to Valinor with Orome before the great journey of all the Eldar. Thingol never saw the light of the Trees again because he met Melian. The people over whom he ruled, part of the Teleri, were still Moriquendi.
