What you just said nulls the "no" at the beginning of your post.

"Anthro" is short for "anthropomorphic animal". Hence, an "anthro" is an animal with human features, and something is "anthro" if it contains such characters. We seem to be in agreement.

However, this does not make it a synonym for "furry" because "furry" has uses beyond this; those associated with the fandom ("furry culture", or "jim is a furry").

Hence, the only time it is correct to use "anthro" and incorrect (or less preferable) to use "furry" is when something involves anthropomorphic animal characters but does not involve any of the other conotations of the word.

For example, I could say "Star Fox is an anthro video game, not a furry video game.

If you're talking about old-school furry culture though, that qualifies as furry. Saying "We are anthro fans, not furries" in that particular context is wrong.
And saying "We are anthro, not furry" doesn't make sense in any context.
