I've added the reference to the first mention of Christians.  I also changed the number of baptized Catholics to be in line with the article we have in Catholicism.  By changing Denominations to Denominations and Branches, Catholicism and Orthodox Christianity fit in without extra commentary.  The information was unclear as written since Catholicism accepts priestly rites performed by the Orthodox as do the Orthodox with Catholics and, at least in more recent Catholic history, they have referred to Protestants as their "brethren".

: The tweaking looks good, but one I question is the removal of [[Amish]].  I'm not disputing that they are Mennonite (I wouldn't actually know), but the list is a list of other articles on various groups, and as the Amish have their own article, they should be there, I would think (although you could list them on the same line as Mennonite or as a next-level indent under Mennonite, I guess).  I had previously wondered why the Episcopalians were listed separately to the Anglicans, but figured that this is why: it's actually a ''see also'' list arranged by group.  [[User:Philip J.

::Strictly speaking they are Anabaptists, as are the Mennonites, but they are sufficiently distinct to merit separate articles. [[Image:User Fox.png|10px]] [[User:Fox|Fox]] <small>([[User talk:Fox|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Fox|contribs]])</small> 18:28, 18 January 2008 (EST)
