Crossword Genius

Attitude of procrastinator or heretic (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

idolater

'heretic' is the definition.
(idolatry is a kind of heresy)

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for idolater that I've seen before include "Aaron, perhaps, in Moses' absence" , "devotee" , "One who worships a false god or graven image" , "I love a religious image" , "I'm devoted to my image" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
