You've been misinformed.  Certificates have no intrinsic class.

Verisign, a commercial certificate agency, provide three different
"classes" of certificate.  These act in the way you describe.  Each
is signed by a different root CA.

You determine the Verisign class by determining which Verisign CA
certificate signed the certificate you are looking at.

        - Dale.
