if you said you were "baptised" in a "Mormon church",That's why I put "Trinitarian" to distinguish from non-Trinitarian sects. Does one need to actually be able to actually recite the Nicene creed or just believe it to be considered Christian in your sect?
But that does bring up an important point if we want to use more accurate terms for each Caucus. I suggest that for Protestants we use "Trinitarian Christians".

That doesn't hold true for various branches of Protestants. And, the term "Trinitarian" would include Orientals, Assyrians, Orthodox and Catholics as well.

Alex Murphy has suggested some different distinctions that would be preferable to lumping all Protestants together => Reformed/Protestant, Evangelical, Restorationist, Charismatic.
He explains them in more detail here - it's a recent post but he first posted them quite some time ago. I think they may be useful to work this out.
