It's not even logical that Carlisle would have been a member of the Volturi. The Volturi were a family Aro (his wife), Caius (his wife), Marcus. THAT was the actual Volturi: three guys and two girls). The others such as Felix, Demetri, Jane, Alex, etc, etc., were not Volturi, but Guards of the Volturi, or Volturi Guards. It's doubtful that the Volturi would want Carlisle for one of their guards...he's not a gifted vampire and has no talent for the Volturi to make use of. Besides, even if they HAD made Carlisle a Volturi Guard, Carlisle wouldn't have killed anybody. Human or vampire. Carlisle hands were clean of killing until he was forced to kill the Newborn Army. And Carlisle even hated doing this. So, as you can clearly see, Carlisle was NEVER a member of the Volturi. The Volturi are a family...and nobody can join them...unless Marcus decides upon a new mate...and that's not likely to happen. A vampire CAN become part of the Volturi Guard...but since Carlilse has no special gift...he wouldn't be wanted there in the first place. Now, Alice, Edward, Bella, Benjamin, and Kate would be a different story. Since they DO have powers, Aro would readily allow them to join the Volturi Guard. But they'd be part of the guard...no part of the Volturi Family.
