The Status of the Latecomer

Question
If the follower's ablution is invalidated during the prayer, does he take the ruling of the latecomer? Or is the status of the latecomer limited to one who laughs aloud, or one who breaks his wudu before the tasleem?
Answer
I say, and with God's success, if the follower's ablution is invalidated, he takes the ruling of the one who comes after him, and God knows best.
