The story never calls them "Gudnatians". Furthermore, they never lived on Earth while it was called Gudnatia so there would be no reason to call themselves Gudnatian. Additionally, they have not once called the Third Period "Earth".

We are not just using "earthling" because it's familiar over accuracy. The book, itself, repeatedly uses the term "Earthling" for them in contrast to calling the Third Period humans "humans." Specifically, it uses the Japanese term for "Earthling," that is why we are using it.

Thank you for your two cents, as I have stated I'm not on a complete warpath for the term "god kin" at this point. Just for using it as a meta classification.
