I've never had an assumption that a person is "nice/respectable" merely because they have on some type of attire, nametag, or jewelry - nor would I assume that a person isn't "nice/respectable" because they lack any of that.
I Agree. You're known by your actions.
I think wearing things that indicate your profession in order to get better treatment is verging on dishonesty.
Most doctors I know try to stay anonymous, to prevent people from asking them medical questions and trying to get e free consultation.
And, if a priest or a nun is sitting in my seat, I'm still going to ask them to move.
