That quote doesn’t help you, because it’s citing Minor which said that only the “native” citizens born to citizen parents were eligible for the office of president. It doesn’t say all native citizens are elegible. And notice how it doesn’t quote Wong Kim Ark regarding eligibility for president. Thanks for disproving your entire belief system. What an idiot.

It also cites Elk, which says you are either a citizen born or a citizen made.

The court could have written “a naturalized citizen stands on an equal footing with the natural born citizen in all respects save that of eligibility to the Presidency” - but they didn’t. They were either careless and wrote a false statement, or they wrote what they believed true.

There is no legal basis for claiming there are THREE categories of citizens - naturalized, native born of alien parents, and native born of citizen parents.
