Questions about Raise Spectre interactions

Question

Raise Spectre reads

Raises a spectral version of a defeated foe as a minion to fight for you in battle.

Do the raised minions retain the type of minion? So if you raise a skeleton and have it attack somebody who is equipped with The Princess would the target take increased damage? Same idea for Queen of the forest and a raised animal, would the animal deal reduced damage?

What about items like The Barron, Mon'tregul's Grasp, Violent Dead, enhanced helmets, or ascendancy nodes like necromancer's Flesh Binder; how would they interact with a raised spectre version of a zombie?

If these items don't apply to the spectral versions of the minions has GGG stated why? I was poking around on the skill gem feedback form but its like 40 pages long. I skimmed the first 20 40 pages and didn't see anything suggesting an answer to these interactions. Any help?

Anything that expressly targets your zombies would not, of course.

So a Hungry Corpse would not get extra health from Mon'tregul's Grasp?

Nope, cause they're not zombies, they're specters that look like zombies.

So then would the raised skeleton not do increased damage to another player equipped with the princess?

Not really sure about that. I don't think it would because I don't think your minions get specific monster type tags like that, but I'm not sure.
