Those denominations will all hold to the 3FU for historical reasons (and since they wouldn't necessarily agree that the Westminster Standards represent an improvement). Similarly, churches deriving from Scottish Presbyterian roots will all hold the WCF (though not necessarily would all agree that the Westminster Standards are necessarily an improvement). |  I posted my above post before I noticed Todd's comments.
