exclude a category from an rss feed, but also have rss feed just for that same cat.

[Billmcq]

This is not a specific genesis question, but I am using a genesis theme for it and I hope someone can help.

For a church website, I need to have an rss feed for a specific category only.
I can do that with a link like this:

http://www.websitename.com/category/featured/feed/

BUT, I also want to exclude that same category from the main website feed which is:

http://www.websitename.com/feed/

I read that I can exclude a category with the following theme functions file:

function myFilter($query) {
if ($query->is_feed) {
$query->set('cat','-5'); //Don't forget to change the category ID =^o^=
}
return $query;
} add_filter('pre_get_posts','myFilter');

where 5 is the category number of the category I want to exclude.
My problem with this functions file is that wouldn't that exclude the category from any feed on the ENTIRE site with that category number , disabling the category specific feed as well ?

How do I go about excluding this category from then main feed, BUT still allow a dedicated feed to it?
