Do Reformed Christians still practice all the pomp and circumstance as exhibited at a Catholic church?
Depends on the church, but in general, there’s a whole lot less pomp. My church is pretty casual. People wear jeans, shorts, t-shirts. We have a simple building and there’s not a lot of formality.
Is there a reason to put such heavy weight on the word Reformed?
We’ll yes. It means some specific things. It means that we believe certain things. And properly Reformed would subscribe to one of the Reformed Confessions (Westminster Confession, London Baptist Confession, Savoy, Three Forms, etc).
So making that overly simplistic - it means that there’s a high view of God’s sovereignty and a high view of scripture.
Is it just a signal to indicate you’re not Catholic?
Reformed would fall under the larger umbrella of Protestant. There are basically 3 main branches of Christianity: Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant.
