Correct. My understanding about Baptists (both from friends who are and services I've attended) is that they are a pretty diverse bunch. One school is tied fairly closely to the mainline Protestant sects. Another is tied more closely to the originalist anabaptist movement who, back in the 15th thru 17th centuries were targeted by Catholic and the emerging Protestant sect powers alike.

Originalists among the anabaptist movement do not, in fact, consider themselves to be part of the Protestant movement at all since they never bought into the state church thing dating back to the time of Emperor Constantine.

Jan Hus is the most famous of the anabaptist martyrs. However, there is ample evidence that Roger Williams, the American icon of religious freedom, had anabaptist leanings as well.
