I agree that the 14th Amendment did nothing to change definitions of citizenship that came before it’s adoption. What the Amendment did was to specify who is a [natural] born citizen (All persons born...and subject to the jurisdiction thereof” and who isn’t (...”naturalized”...).

The phrase "natural born citizen" never occurs in the 14th Amendment.
