Like he'll it ain't. Almost every Christian sect teaches that women are "less then" ,there may not be a direct quote in the book saying woman are not real people. But the teachings of the churches most definitely leans that way.
The account you are replying to is a troll account and should be taken with 0 seriousness.👍
A sect is a sub-group of people unified by beliefs or practice, a denomination is essentially just a large named sect. Christianity is not monolithic and organises into groups, it by definition has sects.
Even if you were right it's such a ridiculously pointless and pedantic argument, it does nothing to further the conversation. You're just trying to use cheap gotchas as a thought-terminating cliche. The only thing you've done is to force us to literally argue semantics, that is not a good look for you.
For completeness, here's a Christian source using the word sect to describe Christian groups, one of the top search engine hits when I searched.
That's why we can have a woman as the pope, right?
So one of you jokers reported my reply despite it violating zero community or sitewide rules
It's pretty clear your bigotry for theism makes all of you incapable of a rational conversation on this topic
And you assumed it was me because... why? Lol mate, I haven't reported you
