No. Most gamers now have a different definition of roguelike vs roguelite. They consider action games to fall into both categories and the distinguishing factor is only that "roguelikes" have no metaprogression.
This is totally different than the understanding among the traditional roguelike community (and the author) in which a roguelite is not a turn/grid based game, but a roguelike is. Unfortunately, these words are now rather meaningless unless you know who you're speaking to.
