You say “heresy,” I say “apostasy.” Both indicate that the Protestants believed that the Catholic church had corrupted doctrine. And, you are right, we do not call ourselves “reformers,” and the original Protestants did not call themselves “restorationists,” although some Protestants recognized the need for a restoration. Maybe some still do. I don’t know. To my knowledge the reformers didn’t fully understand or grapple with the notion of priesthood authority.

As to the rest of your post, you need some lessons on parsing sentences. Or, maybe you are just deliberately mixing things up.

Leave it up to Mormon apologists to offer "expert" workshops on "parsing sentences."

(I think one of my favorites for the Mormons accumulating expertise in this area is the LDS man over 100 years ago who went to a magistrate to seek a plural marriage...only of course, the "plural" part was downplayed...The magistrate asked him if he was married...The man replied that he was, but that his first wife was "in the cemetary." Of course, what the man said was "technically" true...at that very moment, his first wife was right there in the cemetary...very much alive!!! Source: B. Carmon Hardy, A Solemn Covenant)
