Thanks for posting this!
Nichiren Daishonin makes this clear distinction in the gosho, "The True Object of Worship" ("Kanjin no Honzon sho"),
“The Essential Teaching of Shakyamuni's day and the teaching for the beginning of Mappo are equally pure and perfect. However, his is harvesting, while this is sowing. The core of his teaching is the one chapter and two halves, and for me it is the five characters of the Daimoku alone.”

(Gosho, p. 656)
"The five characters of Myoho-Renge-Kyo are the core of the Lotus Sutra and the origin of all Buddhas throughout the entire world. Upon seeing the signs that these five characters now must be propagated, I, Nichiren, have set the precedent, today, at the beginning of the Latter Day of the Law."

- Nichiren Daishonin, “Shuju onfurumai-gosho” 種種御振舞御書
