From the article:

    Evangelicals were defined as people who strongly agreed with the following four statements:

    1. The Bible is the highest authority for what I believe.
    2. It is very important for me personally to encourage non-Christians to trust Jesus Christ as their Savior.
    3. Jesus Christ’s death on the cross is the only sacrifice that could remove the penalty of my sin.
    4. Only those who trust in Jesus Christ alone as their Savior receive God’s free gift of eternal salvation.

It sounds like they used a pretty loose definition for who they label as "Evangelical". I presume they would also categorize some Christians this way even if they don't specifically identify as that (i.e., Evangelical Catholic, Evangelical Lutheran, etc.).

Over the past few years the definition of Evangelical has changed considerably I think as there are churches who state they are but are not.
