A player who wants to play a priest will generally build a cleric, but the game doesn't specify that you must. And NPCs are not built like player characters, and, while they may have powers derived from PC class abilities, they do not have levels in that class. In the adventure Princes of the Apocalypse, most of the priests of the Elemental Princes' cults are given powers reminiscent of sorcerers, for example -- Charisma-based spellcasting, a defined list of powers, etc. Therefore, I don't think you can definitively say, "priest and cleric are synonymous." The priest stat block says they have cleric spells, but I can make a bard with cleric spells -- does that make my bard PC a cleric?</blockquote>
