an even shorter poll about the denominations of the Christians here

Here I will use these two great schisms in the history of Christianity:

a) the seperation of East and West
b) the Reformation

an important date in history:

Jul 16, 1054 CE: Great Schism​

On July 16, 1054, Patriarch of Constantinople Michael Cerularius was excommunicated, starting the “Great Schism” that created the two largest denominations in Christianity—the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox faiths.

Right now the Catholic faith has 100 % - as it once was.

I am curious about your votes now

On July 16, 1054, Patriarch of Constantinople Michael Cerularius was excommunicated from the Christian church based in Rome, Italy. Cerularius’s excommunication was a breaking point in long-rising tensions between the Roman church based in Rome and the Byzantine church based in Constantinople (now called Istanbul). The resulting split divided the European Christian church into two major branches: the Western Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church. This split is known as the Great Schism, or sometimes the “East-West Schism” or the “Schism of 1054.”

2 of 6 say:

the Reformed faith​

Still not really a poll that I can work with. Catholic means "universal" which is a good solid word which is exactly why it cannot be used for the RCC.

Protestants ( who all started as "reformed" ) are part of the "catholic" faith but not part of the RCC.

So you aren't going to shoe horn that in with my agreement. Not here.

@ shared churches

A special thing - mostly in Germany.

But also in the US.

A shared church (German: Simultankirche), simultaneum mixtum, a term first coined in 16th-century Germany, is a church in which public worship is conducted by adherents of two or more religious groups. Such churches became common in the German-speaking lands of Europe in the wake of the Protestant Reformation.[1] The different Christian denominations (such as Roman Catholic, Lutheran, Reformed, or United, etc.), share the same church building, although they worship at different times and with different clergy. It is thus a form of religious toleration.[1]

Simultaneum as a policy was particularly attractive to rulers who ruled over populations which contained considerable numbers of both Catholics and Protestants. It was often the opposite of cuius regio, eius religio and used in situations where a ruler was of a different religion than the majority of the people, and not strong enough to impose his religion on the population

Baptist ... Independent, Local, Christ as Head, comprised of "immersed" Believers ... just like the ORIGINAL [as seen in ACTS]!
