Re: Presbyterians:

That was my assumption of what the case was.

One correction regarding Zwingli and Calvin. Zwingli started the
Reformation in Switzerland, but the theology of the Reformed Church is
Calvinistic. Calvin was still a Roman Catholic living in France when
Zwingli died in 1531. The term "Reformed" relates to reforming Lutheranism,
not Catholicism. The Anabaptist's have roots in Zwingli, when two of his
protégé's Conrad Grebel and Felix Mantz parted ways with Zwingli over
baptism.
