A number of people experience confusion with the word ‘Reformed’. Some say it encompasses the whole of Protestantism. Others say it refers only to Calvinists, which, by and large, it does.
Below is Michael Horton’s definition. Dr Horton is Professor of Apologetics and Systematic Theology atWestminster Seminary California, author of numerous books, host at White Horse Inn (WHI) and Editor-in-Chief of Modern Reformation magazine.
For the Reformed Anglicans reading the following: so that we don’t have a repeat of a similar post of mine from last year, if you disagree with the following, please be so kind as to take it up with Dr Horton directly on this White Horse Inn post.

GJ - Lutherans have been sloppy in calling all non-Lutheran Protestants "Reformed." Syn Conference training is so poor that the talking heads toss out the term "Calvinist" without having a clue.
People need to show some precision in their terminology and not rely on the lecture notes from Professor Fizzlewick, even though he was named Teacher of the Year in 1974.
