No, homebuilts are type certificated under Part 21 as Experimental.

That's a contradiction. 14 CFR 21.21 and 14 CFR 21.181 are quite clear
on this. Experimental aircraft are "certificated," yes, but they don't
hold "type certificates."

You are mistaken, "Experimental" is a Type, under CFR 14 Part 21.

The difference is that an Experimental is not elidgeable for STC, but
"Normal Catagory" type airplanes are.
