But if we can't allow men who call themselves priests to claim their priestly lineage, then what good is the notion of presumptive status?

The rabbis argue about the determining factors.

What is decreed by Torah law and what is decreed by the rabbis?

Are we only speaking about the very special parts of an animal, or are we referring to access to all teruma?

And what about in other places, where taking challah from bread or raising ones hands offers priest full access to priestly benefits?

We explore the mitzvah of taking challah , the appropriate nature of a Kohein taking challah and the deeper mystical meanings for women.
