Natural Born Citizen has ALWAYS meant Citizen at the Moment of BirthOh, you're a sneaky snake, aren't you!
You are right, a natural born citizen is always going to be a citizen at birth.
A simple test for you - a man and a woman immigrate to the US. They both become citizens of the US through the naturalization process. They then have a child in one of the several States of the US.
Is that child a citizen or a natural born citizen?

It's a "gotcha" statement. Look at it closer.
A natural born citizen is always going to be a citizen at birth. That follows natural law.
However, a "citizen at birth" isn't always a natural born citizen. That follows statutory law.
