Guess you are having trouble with reading comprehension. I said the Catholics and Orthodox do it. No evangelical Protestant that I know of would perform it.
My paternal side is/was Anglican and Episcopalian. They speak the Sign of the Cross but do not perform the physical action.

Only if you are typing in some English like language I never heard of. I replayed the conversation. Nothing about the sign of the cross. Where did I go wrong? Newsgatherer -> Baptised a 11 in 1922 you -> yes, that's what clued me in. We Catholics baptize infants so I knew from there he was a Proddie. me -> That's not uniquely a Cathy practice. Lots of Proddies practice infant baptism also. you ->I'm talking about the Sign of the Cross

Must have been "low church." The two Episcopal parishes I was in both performed the physical action of the Sign of the Cross consistently.

In my Episcopal church, I attend the early service, which is about 2/3 older people. About 1/3 of the people, mostly older ones but some younger, either make the sign of the cross, or genuflect, or both.
