If your call to actions "must" look like buttons, see if you can add something that makes them different from your site's buttons. Underline on focus/hover. Different border. *Something*.
If we're talking about just mentioning a best practice somewhere, fine. 
That can be squishy and fluffy in its use of language. But if we're 
talking about making a hard normative requirement somewhere as part of 
WCAG, we do need to be precise and unambiguous, and that's where it gets 
very difficult (unless you make arbitrary "this is legal, this is 
illegal" calls on any possible types of design/styling choices).
