13. Only those naturalized can be denaturalized.

That's the difference. You were born here? Nope, you weren't extended the privilege of becoming a citizen, you're not naturalized.

I was born in the US back in the late '50s; even if soil-based citizenship weren't a thing, both parents were citizens and had resided in the US their entire lives. No naturalization for me.
