it is one hundred percent possible for a pan orthodox council to find and declare heretical any aspect of his confession.

Sorry, but that is just silly. Either its correct or its not, and you as one of the faithful should know right away if it is correct or not if you are truly orthodox in faith.

If its incorrect, the Church should never have accepted it, and presented it to others (such as the English non-jurors) as truth, which it did. The idea that a Council will come along 350 years later and say X, Y, and Z in this document we proposed previously as representing the faith is heretical means you don't really believe in an unchanging faith given once to the saints, rather you believe the faith is whatever a Church Council says it is. You might as well accept the Latrocinium then.

when has the church ‘accepted it’?

since when are laity able to make pronoucements on that canonicity of the statements of individual Bishops?

btw the councils took many years to reject ALL the early heresies.
