No I haven't confused anything at all. Perhaps you misunderstood my comment.

Nope. I disagree with your definitions. And I disagree with the definiteness of your definitions. That is, you speak as though this were the only possible definition of "profession". In that, I believe you are in error.

The definition of a profession in the western world has been well established and generally understood for centuries. My comment was fully consistent with that definition.

From dictionary.com:

1. a vocation requiring knowledge of some department of learning or science: the profession of teaching. Compare learned profession.

2. any vocation or business.

3. the body of persons engaged in an occupation or calling: to be respected by the medical profession.

It goes on, but the rest have to do with "profession" in the sense of declarations.

So, you can make your claim all you want that you have the correct definition of "profession", but you seem to be mistaken...
