you mean John Smith or Ellen G White or Charles Taize? The re-reformatters? Those are the ones referred to in this speech as remember this speech was given to Lutherans in Germany where there isn’t that much activity from Baptists/Evangelists leave alone your Calvinist types, the activity is by Jehovah’s Witnesses
"Erfurt, Germany - Pope Benedict XVI urged mainstream Christian denominations Friday to learn from hard-working evangelical churches which are more successful in their missionary work.

Are you certain the Pope was talking about non reformation, non Christian heretics, in his speech? Your interpretation is entirely 'unique' and quite off the mark.

I'm certain because of the audience of his speech. Who were they? German Lutheran ministers. The German Lutheran church is hardly in the same level of conservatism as the WELS or LCMS churches in the US.

In Germany the most "evangelizing" are the Jehovah's Witnesses, not Baptists, not American-style Evangelicals.
