Yes, it is pa. A denomination is a sect that has cooled down and become an institutionalized body rather than an activisit protest group. Sects that survive over any period of time inevitably become denominations. Thus, Calvinism and Methodism were sects during their early period of formation, when they generated great fervor among their members; but over the years, they have become more established. (Calvinists today are called Presbyterians.) Denominations are recognized as legitimate by churches and exist alongside them, often cooperating harmonisouly with them.
