“Reformed/Protestant” (16th century, those that trace denominational and creedal roots back to the Reformation),
“Evangelical” (17th century, like xzins’ Wesleyans/Methodists or the Baptists, largely anabaptist, that arose after the Reformed groups);

This represents serious scholastic error.

Anabaptists go back just as far as Luther. Menno Simons was the forunner for the anabaptists. The Baptists broke away from them in the US over the issue of pacifism.

Methodists are an offshoot of Anglicanism.
