WRONG. Why did Abu Bakr (RA) fight those who did not believe zakaat to be obligatory and called them kuffar if what you said is true? These people were reading the kalimah too yet he fought them and killed them.

It's VERY different to compare not paying zakah with not believing in Ahadith.

Not paying zakah = kuffar because that is saying "Allah told us to pay zakah, but we won't do it". Zakah is a clear cut issue.

Rejecting Hadith, while misguided, is not the same as not paying zakah and it does not make one a kuffar. It just makes one seriously misguided.
