[2.3.3] Unable to reform pagans, "character not Germanic."

Description: When I try to reform my religion as a Germanic ruler, the game informs me that my character must be Germanic to reform the religion. He is, but the game doesn't seem to recognize this. I tried the same thing, playing as a Finn, and the game didn't seem to recognize that that character was a Finn.
DLC's: I own all the major DLC's except Way of Life.
Mods: I do not currently use any mods.

Reproduction Steps:
1. Start the game
2. Load a new game beginning in the Old Gods time period, playing as a pagan character. (Try Germanic.)
3. Go to the religious tab, and click on the religious head icon.
4. Hover over "create."

Observe: Among the various reasons why you can't create the religious head position, is that your character is not Germanic. (When, in fact, he is.)

You can not create that title, only reformed germanic can create that title. Probably only when reforming the religion also.

The tooltip is correct you are unreformed pagan, you need to be reformed pagan, to create the title.

You don't actually create the title in order to reform your religion. There is a special button in the Religion tab that you should use instead, which will reform the religion and automatically create the Religious head title for you.

You can find the button at the top left hand corner of the interface. It should say "Reform the Germanic Faith" when you hoover over the icon.
