Those were the reformed and the lutheran and the presbyterians.

Not really. You mean the Lutherans, the Calvinists and those following Zwingli, but there were also others, the Unitarians and others just popped up like Anabaptists, etc. Even the Marburg Colloquy (1529) didn't resolve any of these differences.

You're

And you are right about the pent-e-costals, Mormons, BAptists, etc. but I would argue that they are second or third generation PRotestants in that they did not originally break from the Catholic Church but broke from those that broke from the CAtholic Church, hence they fall under the umbrella of child or grand-child divisions of the Protestant groups

Nope, they didn’t break from those that broke from reformationist groups.

The unitarians aren’t a Christian group, by self-declaration, so they can’t really be considered anything in Christianity. The anabaptists would fall under the “many baptists” concession I already allowed for.

The restorationists just basically hung out their own shingle. The pentcostalists and charismatics came from American Methodists who didn’t break away from anyone, but were a by-product of the Revolutionary War. (If you accept Anglicans as Protestant in the first place, which I don’t.) Their break-away was political whether one is speaking of Henry or Elizabeth, imho.
