Shaykh Suduq (d. 380AH), one of the biggest shia scholars writes about the creed of the shia that:
Concealing one’s true faith from people is obligatory upon every shia until the 12th Imam Mahdi doesn’t reveal himself and the one who forsakes it no longer remains shia.
“I am not a shia, i am a sunni”
Also Fazal: my Imam is the same as the shia imam who has been in hiding for 1200 years, but my evidences are different
Log hain kya?

It’s only there to let naive sunnis know that it is one of the creedal beliefs (aqidah) of a shia is to conceal their actual beliefs with the hypocrites (sunnis) and to fool them is an act of worship for the shia
