Then you would say that the belief that the cup should contain grape juice is 'heresy'.
Would you also say that the belief that the Pope is the Antichrist is 'heresy'?
If so, then I think you have so diluted the word 'heresy' that it basically has no meaning at all. If you mean 'error' why don't you just use the word 'error'?
