They said they weren’t a US citizen on the form…….but was applying for a passport that would state they were a US citizen???
I am as confused as you are. So basically, they want an official document to proof that they are a US citizen while not being one?
You might be familiar with their rants claiming to be an "American National". This is differentiated from a "citizen" mostly by birth location. So a citizen is someone born to a US citizen parent or born in a US state. A "national" would likely be born in a US territory like American Samoa and Swain Island.
The below goes into further details.

I'm pretty sure US Nationals can get passports, but a true National likely wouldn't be getting their info from a sovcit group.
