You, to different people, you would be considered to be a heathen and
a heretic.

These definitions are always relative. To "heathens", you are the
heathen. To those that you considered "follow an incorrect doctrine",
you are the one that is following the incorrect doctrine.

Just because it is different does not make it any more or less correct
than your religious beliefs, as long as you are not trying to force
others to follow your beliefs.
