So I was looking in the REG, and under Heavenly Temple Artifacts I saw:

"Priestly Artifacts and Temple Artifacts are not considered Heavenly Temple Artifacts."

Curious, I turned to Temple Artifacts and found:

"Priestly Artifacts are not considered Temple Artifacts."

Which leads me to ask, just for the record,
while a Temple Artifact is not considered a Heavenly Temple Artifact,
is a Heavenly Temple Artifact indeed considered a Temple Artifact?
Namely,
if I have Promo Glory of the Lord in my Tabernacle holding the Ark of the Covenant and I have The Golden Altar active in my Artifact pile, is The Golden Altar, a Heavenly Temple Artifact, also protected alongside my Ark?

Glory of the Lord (Promo)- Place this card on your The Tabernacle or Solomon's Temple: Protect that Fortress and your Temple Artifacts from opponents.

Saying that the reference to temple is general only make me more convinced that the term Temple Artifact refers to an Artifact from any temple. If the Heavenly Temple is excluded from this generality, shouldn't there be an explicit exclusion?
I'd really appreciate a third opinion on this.

I mean, I still don't see anything in that article that even suggests that Heavenly Temple Artifacts don't qualify as Temple Artifacts.
Regardless of their absence from earthly temples, the fact remains that they are Artifacts from a Temple. It would be unnecessarily confusing to have them not be considered Temple Artifacts. The precedent up to this point is that there are different types of Temple Artifacts, but they all fall under the category of Temple Artifact: Solomon's Temple Artifact, Herod's Temple Artifact. Now we have another Temple and Artifacts that go in that Temple, and they have particular identifier just like the rest- Heavenly Temple Artifact. Breaking the precedent for this is unnecessarily confusing.

It would also be unnecessarily confusing for Altar of Dagon to be considered a "Temple artifact" because it was found in the Temple of Dagon...

When the identifier "Temple Artifact" was first instituted, it was only minorly problematic because the only different temples in existence were the First and Second temples, and the differences between their contents were small enough to keep in a manageable list. When Herod's Temple came out, no new problems were created because it was the same temple as Zerubabel's, just with renovations and expansions. When Heavenly Temple came out, since Redemption changes tack at a tanker's pace despite its small size, "Temple Artifact" was not updated in the literature to "Earthly Temple Artifact," "Heavenly Temple" was just added to it. "Temple Artifact" has an implied "earthly" before it.
