I think the ordinary Anglican in the 19th Century rejected the notion that the Church had priests. They threw a fit when some High Churchmen insisted on wearing surplices and other such "Romish" garments. This was especially true if he was an evangelical. I don't think that Lutherans believe their clergy are priests.

And I'd be willing to bet, without looking right now, that your definition varies from the Biblical definition in a few ways that are uniquely Catholic. You can't really take this discussion much farther without defining the terminology...
