"Mai sunt si doi medici, oameni tare de treaba si niste ostasi din Oastea Domnului si niste sectanti, apicultori si ahtiati de psalmi"
Un sectant e o persoana care apartine de-o secta religoasa, dar nu pot traduce 'and some men belonging to religious sects' ca suna ca la scoala.

evangelicals
Adica depinde de context, dar in Romania oameni care apartin Biserici afara de biserica ortodoxa de exmplu biserica baptista sau penticostal sunt numit sectanti. Insa in America sau Anglia astfel de biserici nu sunt considerat secte, ci 'evangelical Christians'. Evangelical se refere la dorinta sa dea mai departe mesajul evanghelia care gasim in Biblia. Cred ca Oastea Domnului este un astfel de biserica.

| Multumesc mult. Dar sunt putin nedumerita. 'Evangelicals' se refera la 'ostasii din Oastea Domnului' sau la 'sectanti'? |

Florin Tebeica
: "Evangelicals" are echivalentul in romaneste "evanghelici", in nici un caz sectanti, chiar daca se poate referii de fapt la respectivele grupari crestine, nu comentam modul de exprimare ci il traducem

Ok, asa este, doar ca am auzit si pe oameni folosind pentru crestini evanghelici denumire 'sectanti' chiar daca exista si termin 'evanghelici' in limba romana.

sectator
A sectator is a loyal guide, adherent or follower.
Ştiu că sună mai ciudat, dar se pare că ăsta e termenul.
Altfel, susţin "sect follower" (Mihaela Ghiuzeli).
"Sectarian" e adj.

Sectarianism is sometimes defined in the sociology of religion as a worldview that emphasizes the unique legitimacy of believers' creed and practices and that heightens tension with the larger society by engaging in boundary-maintaining practices.[5]
A religious or political cult, by contrast, also has a high degree of tension with the surrounding society, but its beliefs are, within the context of that society, new and innovative. Whereas the cult is able to enforce its norms and ideas against members, a sect normally doesn't strictly have "members" with definite obligations, only followers, sympathisers, supporters or believers.
