You are spot on. People need to read a lot more of the words in red and stick to that.
Cliff notes version: study the following and you’ll have 80% of things nailed down
John, Genesis, Revelation. Start with one of these then complete this trilogy.
Then Ruth, Daniel, Isaiah, Romans.
Those 7.

1. Irish/Celtic as its own branch of Christianity? WTF? They are a part of your Latin Catholic "Roman" block.
Not in the 5th century. They practiced their own version of Catholicism and did not accept the authority of the Pope.

Of course the Lutherans are banging on the door of the playoffs. Remember Lutherans are the heaviest drinkers of all Protestants denominations
Most people remember Martin Luther for breaking away from the church and all that nonsense. Oldmanbeasley remembers him for being a damn fine beer drinker.

kinda. there's some things you have to adhere to within giving and the church beliefs regarding State Conventions or the SBC itself, but you could be all over the place.
i went to a mostly reformed Southern Baptist of Texas Church and we'd do city wide ministry with First Baptist Church (Baptist General Convention of Texas) when it came to feeding people, building homes, acts of mercy, etc. but we would not partner with them on evangelical/gospel events because their path to salvation did not include repentance of sins.

It is sometimes easiest to organize churches by church polity or governance.
Baptists fall under the Congregational model. Each church congregation is autonomous.
The other two models (that I believe to be superior) are Prelacy/Episcopacy and Presbyterian.
So, from most authoritative to least:
Prelacy
Presbyterian
Congregational
Conveniently, the Protestant denominations that fall under the Congregational category are all too easy to dismiss when it comes to claims on early/historic Christianity. This explains why I don't even mention them in my previous post.

My dad's family is Church of Christ from rural West Texas. If Christianity had a Taliban, it would be the Church of Christ from rural West Texas.

..controlling people's lives and way of thinking..
You have an interesting way of applying "controlling" given the fact that at least in our country going to Church is voluntary...

The ones with apostolic succession are the only ones in full communion with the body of Christ. (Roman Catholic, orthodox. Coptic, Anglican and a few others)
IMO BUT any Christian who is baptized is legitimately Christian.
Unbaptized are on thin ice.

Of course they are. They're not orthodox (little "o") Christians, but they are Christians nonetheless.

Does it have to be baptism by water?

The Hutterites are a frickin' problem. Always have been.

Where’s Nestorian? I also thought Coptic was it’s own thing older than Greek Orthodoxy
