Ok, that one was my fault, I phrased it poorly.
Are Reformed Baptists their own denomination, or does it describe independent congregations?

No problem! Reformed Baptists are their own denomination within the larger Baptist tradition. While there may be independent congregations that hold to similar beliefs and practices as Reformed Baptists, the term specifically refers to a movement or denomination with its own unique institutions, leadership, and organizational structures. Reformed Baptist churches may be affiliated with formal networks or associations, such as the Association of Reformed Baptist Churches of America or the Southern Baptist Founders Conference. However, there are also independent or unaffiliated Reformed Baptist churches, meaning those that are not formally associated with any larger organization or institution. But overall, Reformed Baptists are a distinct denomination within the larger Baptist tradition.
