I think it's trifling over semantics. We Protestants profess a belief in the priesthood of all believers based on doctrine revealed in Gospels and more particularly Pauline epistles. Pastors are in a sense play a mediator/priestly role between congregants in a church body and God, in much the same way an evangelist has a connection with the person he witnesses to. But we all know we believers have access to the throne of grace through prayer in Jesus Christ.
