More specifically, and accurately in this instance, a heretic is one who denies the Word of God, the original canon as laid out by the Early Christians, via the Apostles, and their successors.
All Christians until the 16th century accepted the full canon as determined by the Catholic Church, and even today, most Protestants still accept the NT canon as the Catholic Church defined it.

I do not deny the Word of God. I deny that the epistle of James is the Word of God. I have provided ample evidence in this thread and a previous one, and over a period of two weeks not one RC on these threads has counterargued my evidence point for point. Will you address my evidence point for point? Or will you just throw more lame appeals to authority at me, as you have just done? (Frankly, they are getting quite boring.)
No.
So, by what authority do you make this claim?
Which is pure and refuted propaganda. Scholarly doubts and disputes about books continued right into Trent, which provided the first "infallible" indisputable canon - after the death of Luther. And who included the apocryphal books in his Bible, though in a separate section, in keeping with an ancient tradition.
Either admit you were wrong or try to argue that all Christians until the 16th century accepted the full canon, that of 73 books as being wholly inspired Scripture.
