for BPSK the value of the bit is determined only by examining the sign of
the real part. There will be errors only when the cluster of points
approaches the imaginary axis, where the sign of the real point changes. If
the frequency offset it small (it rotates slowly) and the SNR high, then
for most rotations there will be negligible errors.

In practice you will probably have great difficulty tuning the receiver
accurately enough for this to work. Furthermore, doppler shift in the
channel may make the frequency change over time. Thus, the need for the
Costas loop or some other frequency synchronization.

Alternately, you can compare the phase of the current signal to the
previous symbol:
