I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'to non-conformist' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'at this point jerk' is the wordplay.
'at this point' becomes 'here' (here means in this place).
'jerk' becomes 'tic' (jerking movement by the body).
'here'+'tic'='HERETIC'

'points' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. It may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for heretic that I've seen before include "Person with opinions contrary to Church norms" , "Religious outcast" , "Etheric (anag.)" , "I wrongly believe" , "Non-believer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
