If you are a member of the Reformed Episcopal Church it is common that no one will have even heard of your denomination. Some hear the word "Episcopal" and immediately assume you are a liberal. Some hear the word "Reformed" and wonder if you are really a Presbyterian. In any case, it can be confusing. I tend to say, when asked, that I'm a member of a small conservative "Anglican" denomination called the Reformed Episcopal Church. Most people have no idea what "Anglican" is, so this tends to diffuse any potential misunderstandings.
Aparently the early Reformed Episcopal Bishops had a similar problem. They dealt with it through pamphets like this one.
