[Apologetics] Definition of Evangelical?

[Art Kelly]

Stuart and Other Friends,

What are the differences, if any, between an:
Evangelical Protestant;
Mainstream Protestant; and
Fundamentalist Protestant?

How would an evangelical respond if a Catholic said
that he or she was an evangelical too?

Thanks,
Art
