If you’re an American citizen and you’ve never been through the naturalization process, then you are a natural born citizen.

Incorrect. Such citizen's may have been "deemed as naturalized". Review Puerto Rican citizenship prior to 1940 for contemporary historical context. You are only a natural born citizen when born in country of parents who are citizens. As John Bingham (author of the 14th Amendment) stated in 1862, "There is not a textbook referred to in any court which does not recognise the principle that I assert."

Unless you have a SCOTUS decision less than 50 years old to that effect, than everything else is meaningless. If it ever comes to SCOTUS, which it likely never will, they are not going to go into the citizenship records of the parents of a person who was born in the United States and never went through naturalization. It’s just not going to happen. Citing cases from 100 years ago will not change that.
