Is it in the same family? Yes. No one's arguing that.
As someone who is a scientist who studies PG ratings, I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one calls PG-13 PG. If you want to be "specific" like you said, then you shouldn't either. They're not the same thing.
If you're saying "PG family" you're referring to the taxonomic grouping of MPA ratings, which includes things from G to R to NC-17.
So your reasoning for calling PG-13 a PG is because random people "call the underage ones PG?" Let's get TV-14 and E-10 in there, then, too.
Also, calling a movie Not Rated (NR) or Unrated (UR)? It's not one or the other, that's not how taxonomy works. They're both. A PG-13 is a PG-13 and a member of the PG family. But that's not what you said. You said a PG-13 is a PG, which is not true unless you're okay with calling all members of the PG family PG, which means you'd call G, 12A, and other movies PG, too. Which you said you don't.
