You're very wrong. According to Sahi Hadith the Khawarij are not Muslims. As the Prophet pbuh said, their words / prayers do not go beyond their throat and they as far removed from Islam as an arrow from a bow.

Those would be munafiqeen or hypocrites. The khawarijites did not exist in the time of the Prophet(pbuh) the first khawarijites were said to have come towards the end of Hazrat Usman(R.A)'s khilafat and they sort of were hypocrites who infiltrated the religion to cause it to be destroyed on the inside. They killed the third khalifa then caused a huge fuss over who should be the next khalifa. Then they were present on both sides of the battle of camel between Hazrat Ali(R.A) and Hazrat Ayesha(R.A). At first they started the battle when negotiations were being conducted by attacking before the command can to fight. When the battle stopped they broke off and fought another battle with Hazrat Ali(R.A). After that they planned a simultaneous attack on three key figures including Muawiya(R.A)and Hazrat Ali(R.A). Hazrat Muawiya(R.A) survived while Hazrat Ali(R.A)'s sound was fatal. I'm not quite sure about the specifics afterwards but a part of their descendants became the shia we know today. Just as the shia the present khawarijites have nothing to do with the predecessors who were clearly hypocrites and betrayed the then leaders of Islam. Supposedly they existed at the time of Hazrat Umar(R.A) as well but he was such a feared ruler that they bided their time. Hazrat Usman(R.A) was more lenient so they used it against him. But the Prophet(pbuh) never could have condemned them since they did not exist during his time like no sect existed during his time. He(pbuh) condemned all hypocrites who utter something else and believed another. Even then when the leader of the hypocrites died the Prophet(pbuh) prayed for his mercy and went to his funeral. I am just going on and on now but the point is that modern. Khawarijites cannot be said to not be Muslims since as long as they believe in Allah and the last Prophet(pbuh) it is not our place to say even though some people still say it. The ahmedis are clearly not Muslims since they don't believe in the Last Prophet(pbuh) but I believe the khawarijites do so there's that.
Side note: in the sahih hadith anything in brackets was not uttered by the Prophet(pbuh) so the translator is insinuating or supposing that they are khawarijites which is not true. Its silly to just say khawarijites in brackets and it is misleading just remove the bracket stuff and it is then seen as talking about hypocrites whether they are s or a group
