Nicholas,
I don't see this as very hard to understand. I gave sufficient example and sufficient exception in the choices.
The Reformers, per my understanding, considered the Baptists a sect. Whether they considered Muslims and others a sect is immaterial if all sects, in their view, had invalid baptisms. Of course, Muslims don't baptize so that's a poor example.
Thus, either:
1. You agree with the Reformers and the Divines that the Baptisms of all sects are invalid or
2. You disagree with them that the Baptisms of all sects are invalid by excepting that you believe the baptism of some sects are valid or
3. You disagree with them that some groups that they considered sects are actually part of the visible Church.
I might be missing an option but I'm not certain why you feel the question is unclear.
