When people say, "my OCD" or "you have OCD," they are actually probably referring to OCPD.
The term OCD used as an adjective seems to mean a great need for order. That is actually what OCPD is about. In order to have true OCD, there is a look of an obsession relieved by a compulsion, but the relief runs out so the behavior has to repeat.
OCD = Intrusive obsessive thought:
"I don't want my family to get cancer"
plus
Compulsive action:
"therefore, I need to turn the lights on and off three times"
or
Intrusive obsession:
"I don't want to get sick from germs"
plus
Compulsive action:
repeated handwashing
Some authors consider Illness Anxiety (or Health Anxiety) to be a form of OCD.
Jack Nicholson portrayed a character with OCD in "As Good as it Gets."
He played a character with OCPD in "A Few Good Men"

Video on Exposure Therapy and OCD
"At the heart of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for OCD and related anxiety disorders is the process of “exposure therapy”, during which we help clients repeatedly do the very thing that most terrifies them. For a client with OCD, this might mean purposely touching doorknobs without then washing. For someone with Pure Obsessional OCD, this could mean purposely thinking about being a pedophile or a murderer. A client with Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) may be asked to go out for a walk without the hat they usually wear to hide their face or to go to a brightly-lit restaurant with a group of friends. Someone with Panic Disorder exposure might mean driving on the freeway or taking a plane flight. And an individual with Social Anxiety may be urged to go to the mall to initiate conversations with strangers."
