Wait, I just now found that the page for Ranks in the LN agrees with me. Here: " " (the reference number is for this "Manga Volume 1: Veldora's Slime Observation Journal: A Fateful Meeting")
 * Hazard-class: Despite Rimuru's early evaluation of himself as someone who is supposedly B Rank, he was actually already at A Rank when he was reincarnated as a Slime, even before being named.[3]

While I don't remember Rimuru thinking that he was B rank, this does still confirm what I believed about him being A rank. Heck, the source referenced for this statement is even the same place where I recall learning about this.,

I went to the passages in question to double check, so here's are two quotes (of Veldora's thoughts in those passages):

Quote 1: "Hurtling towards me with bursting energy, the slime brazenly slammed into me. I was stunned, to be honest. If I do say so myself, my aura is so rich and powerful, with a tremendous magical density. It is for these reasons that very few can stand in my presence. Even in my imprisoned state, lower monsters are totally unable to approach me. Even a higher-level monster would find it difficult to touch a being of such pure energy as myself."

Quote 2: "By my estimation, this slime was already an A-Rank monster, going by the scale used by humans. As it had been likely birthed from the incredible magic field surrounding me, this is perhaps not such a surprise. And its quick mastery of the Magic Sense Skill is no mystery either."
