If I do not have a sacred thread but belong to a brahmin, kshatriya or vaishya caste, what varna am I?

You would be considered as someone who is out of the varna system. “Vratya” is the term for this. The authority you enjoy is the same as that of a shudra till you get your sacred thread ceremony done.
