I know dozens of Roman Catholics who take Communion who reject some dogma of the Roman Catholic church?

Are they heretics?

I don't know if they are heretics, incredulists, apostates or schismatics:

Incredulity is the neglect of revealed truth or the willful refusal to assent to it. "Heresy is the obstinate post-baptismal denial of some truth which must be believed with divine and catholic faith, or it is likewise an obstinate doubt concerning the same; apostasy is the total repudiation of the Christian faith; schism is the refusal of submission to the Roman Pontiff or of communion with the members of the Church subject to him."
