It has recently been suggested \cite{Chang:2006bm} that a reliable andunambiguous definition of the non-perturbative massive quark condensate couldbe provided by considering a non positive-definite class of solutions to theSchwinger Dyson Equation for the quark propagator. In this paper we show thatthis definition is incomplete without considering a third class of solutions.Indeed, studying these three classes reveals a degeneracy of possiblecondensate definitions leading to a whole range of values. However, we showthat the {\it physical} condensate may in fact be extracted by simple fittingto the Operator Product Expansion, a procedure which is stabilised byconsidering the three classes of solution together. We find that for currentquark masses in the range from zero to 25 MeV or so (defined at a scale of 2GeV in the $\bar{MS}$ scheme), the dynamically generated condensate increasesfrom the chiral limit in a wide range of phenomenologically successful modelsof the confining QCD interaction. Lastly, the role of a fourth class of nodedsolutions is briefly discussed.
