Oh absolutely. I think the exact terms are tradition (or even religion as a whole) based. I do think the basic practitioner/shaman split is along the lines of "Can follow the rules"/"Can break some of the rules or make new ones". (Plus the bits about having a fetch or coming back from the dead, but even that I would make tradition specific.
>Some may even give gifts — which starts to resemble divine magic.
“Misapplied worship” does work, as well (even if less “efficient”).
I don't use misapplied worship, since it never made any sense to me.
