I think, rather, that Peter was failing to proclaim the
Gospel by modelling a "faith plus works" theology. If Jesus'
sacrifice makes us pure, we don't need ritual purity any
longer. By insisting on it, Peter was denying the efficacy
of Jesus' sacrifice. So I think this comes under category 2.

And that is where you are not only in serious error, but
sinfully so, since you persist in even slandering those who
hold the right faith.

At last, a very overdue admission!

And this is where your 'argument' breaks down.

Not true. Augustine, yes, the very same Augustine you
deceptively quote out of context to support your error,
proves how wrong you are in De Gratia & Libero Arbitrio.

No, it does no such thing. You understand neither that mentality nor
the doctrine.
