Was henry the v111 a catholic when he died?

Henry VIII was excommunicated from the Catholic Church in 1533 after his break with Rome, primarily due to his desire to annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon. By the time of his death in 1547, he had established the Church of England, which retained some Catholic traditions but was distinct from the Roman Catholic Church. Although he maintained some Catholic practices, he was not considered a Catholic in the traditional sense at the time of his death.
