Non-Hermitian but P ϕ T ϕ -symmetrized spherically-separable Dirac and Schrödin-ger Hamiltonians are considered. It is observed that the descendant Hamiltonians H r , H θ , and H ϕ play essential roles and offer some "user-feriendly" options as to which one (or ones) of them is (or are) non-Hermitian. Considering a P ϕ T ϕ -symmetrized H ϕ , we have shown that the conventional Dirac (relativistic) and Schrödinger (non-relativistic) energy eigenvalues are recoverable. We have also witnessed an unavoidable change in the azimuthal part of the general wavefunction. Moreover, setting a possible interaction V (θ) = 0 in the descendant Hamiltonian H θ would manifest a change in the angular θ -dependent part of the general solution too. Whilst some P ϕ T ϕ -symmetrized H ϕ Hamiltonians are considered, a recipe to keep the regular magnetic quantum number m, as defined in the regular traditional Hermitian settings, is suggested. Hamiltonians possess properties similar to the PT -symmetric ones (here the non-Hermitian P ϕ T ϕ -symmetric Hamiltonians) are nicknamed as pseudo-PT -symmetric.
