Catholics have to my knowledge redefined the following words to suit their needs: … priest

It is Strong and other Protestants who have attempted to redefine priest. It original meaning was only for the presbyterate. This meaning has continued despite Protestant efforts to disassociate it from the New Testament office of presbyter than continues today in the Catholic priesthood.

So I guess all those greek translations with the word πρεσβυτέριον, an assembly of elders, are wrong??
