I was never taught anything like this and am "Catholic" rather than "Episcopalian" the same way a Baptist isn't "Episcopalian".

Here in (South-adjacent) Texas, if someone asks if I'm Christian, I'm likely to respond, "Well, I'm Episcopalian, if that counts" — because to some folks in this neck of the woods, Episcopalians aren't really Christians.

Like, I believe this is a thing, but it's a not a thing in Chicagoland. :)

It would sound weird if I described myself as "Christian" here. I think I'd get asked "uh, what kind?"
