@Hungry Ghost realm Okay, he didn't exactly refer to Madara's forehead eye as a Rinne-Sharingan. He figured the technique was triggered by a Rinnegan, since Madara cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi AFTER getting his Rinnegan back, and deduced that he would be able to prevent it via his Rinnegan. And he was sorta right. His Rinnegan-enhanced Susanoo was able to shield Team 7 from Infinite Tsukuyomi, as Zetsu deduced.

Also, Zetsu did not say "mother possess the sharingan". He said "mother possess the power of the sharingan" which is also true since the Rinne-Sharingan has the properties of a Rinnegan (Six Paths, Space-Time, et cetera) and those of a Sharingan which is casting genjutsu. That is what enabled Madara to cast Infinite Tsukuyomi.
