If it WAS it would not be connected to a lot of other whites, and
would not have shut off the furnace when disconnected. It is as it
should be - if the furnace was turned on (not even calling for heat)
the neutral WOULD be "hot" when lifted. Has to be. No other way around
it.

assuming it was different. But, maybe it was, who knows for absolute
certain...
