Of course not, they only bind the Church. In fact, the anathemas were only put on Catholics.

So now we get to the issue of "What is a Catholic"? Is it a follower of Christ or a follower of Rome?

As a follower of Christ I consider myself a member of the Catholic Church as enunciated in the Nicean and Apostle creeds. Apparently some time after the declarations of those creeds fealty to the Bishop of Rome became the defining requirement for inclusion into the membership of the Roman Catholic Church, of which I am not a member. So do the anathemas only apply to members of the Roman Catholic Church?

Since I hold as gospel truth some of the doctrines declared to be Anathema by the Council of Trent, and I consider myself a Catholic as enunciated in the Nicean and Apostle creeds, am I now under some kind of official curse?

"So now we get to the issue of "What is a Catholic"? "

Now you are just trying to be contentious. For the purposes of this discussion Catholic (upper case "C") means an adherent to either the Latin or the Eastern (Orthodox) rite.
