No.  The general term of 'heretic' implies material heresy (i.e. that person is wrong about x, y or z).

Formal heresy can ONLY be determined by the Church.  Manifest heresy can only be determined by the Church.

:facepalm:  "manifest" is a canon law term.  You guys are using the "dictionary" definition (i.e. manifest/explicit/clear) and then applying to canon law.  :facepalm::facepalm::facepalm:

1.  You have no authority to interpret/decide canon law.
2.  If you decide to, it's a simple opinion.

No the term "heretic" imply BOTH formal and material heresy. Luther was a material heretic up to the moment of his ecclesiastical sentence, then he was a "heretic" which implies FORMAL and material.
