1. The number of Evangelicals likely increased.

Etc. etc.. Especially point 6 ("1. The number of Evangelicals likely increased. ").

Is there any really useful definition of what an "evangelical" is.

RE: Is there any really useful definition of what an “evangelical” is.

In general, this is how being an Evangelical is understood as:

Evangelicals are a worldwide, transdenominational movement within Christianity, maintaining that the essence of the gospel consists in the doctrine of salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ’s atonement.

Evangelicals are Christians who believe in the the Bible as the sole ultimate authority of faith and practice, the centrality of the conversion or “born again” experience in receiving salvation, and have a strong commitment to evangelism or sharing the Christian message.

And is it in the Bible as we Catholics are so often questioned?
