Baptists are Evangelical, but were never involved in breaking away from your church so we wouldn't fit in that category either.

That's because Baptists broke away from Anabaptists and Puritans who broke away from Calvinists. Baptists are the 4th generation of PRotestants.

in 1606, John Smyth, a Fellow of Christ’s College, Cambridge, had broken his ties with the Church of England. Reared in the Church of England, he became "Puritan, English Separatist, and then a Baptist Separatist," and ended his days working with the Mennonites.

you guys are a sub-sub-sect of Protestants.
