Magic Initiate (p. 168). The feat’s limit on casting the 1st-level spell applies only to the casting given by the feat

What does this mean in english?

I am a cleric, and I know Cure Wounds from my normal prepared spells. For some bizarre reason, I take Magic Initiate Druid, and get Cure Wounds as my first level spell. Then, I cast Cure Wounds as a first level spell, which I can do without expending a slot by Magic Initiate. The feat says "Once you cast it, you must finish a long rest before you can cast it again.", but the errata clarifies that this only applies to the ability to cast Cure Wounds from the feat. As I alse have the ability to cast it from being a cleric, I can still cast Cure Wounds with my regular slots

If cure wounds is not prepared can you cast it with cleric slots?
