not quite -- anglicans were divided into low church (calvinists) and high church (anglo-catholics and methodists)

the Anglo-Catholics all converted to Catholicism in the 19th century and the calvinists died out while the Methodists went their own way

Also, neither Anglicans nor Catholics (nor for that matter Lutherans who also have apostolic succession) say anything about rejecting the priesthood of all believers

As per orthodoxy, all Christians are part of the universal priesthood -- just as all Israelites were a nation of priests with some ministerial priests with them

The Calvinists didn’t die out in South Africa. We still exist, known until recently as The Church of England in South Africa, now REACH-SA (Reformed, Evangelical, Anglican Church of South Africa. The split happened in the 19th century when the Reformed separated from the Anglo-Catholic (Desmond Tutu) version.

Interestingly, even within the high church, there are many maverick congregations in Cape Town which are solidly Gospel orientated, and vehemently oppose the likes of abortion and homosexuality, unlike Tutu. The rest of the high church probably gets its best theology from its hymnology.
