"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;"

I guess based on this definition we can't be considered heretics since there is no obstinate post-baptismal denial or doubt "of some truth which must be believed with divine and catholic faith," since we were not baptized in the Roman Catholic Faith nor have we obstinately denied or doubted "some truth which must be believed with divine and catholic faith," since we were baptized according to our faith. The word "catholic" is in the lower case meaning universal which would include Protestant and Baptist, otherwise the word would be capitalized to show a particular faith.

Dr. E. you can stop worrying now you are no longer, by definition, considered a heretic. Have a nice weekend.

Precisely. In at least a half-dozen posts I have said this. I'm glad you finally got it.

It's baptized in the Christian Faith -- analogous to baptized in an Apostolic Church (note that the Catholic Church consists of Roman, Maronite etc. Churchs) while the Apostolic Church includes the Orthodox and the Oriental Churchs.
