She is hardly Reformed. If she were Reformed she would be confessional. If she were confessional she'd attend worship. She does not, ergo, she's not Reformed. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news for her, but the Canons of Dort do NOT make one Reformed.

Edit: She sounds like she's in the "cage stage" actually. She may be a Calvinist, but nothing much else.
I'm not sure about Fred Phelps but I know she considers herself to be a Covenanter. One of the reasons she gave someone for not attending church was the fact that most churches sing hymns and not Psalms and in her view singing hymns in church is sinning against God. I don't know of any Covenanters, especially here on this board who would hold to such a view, but that is what she has been led to believe. In other words, she has no need of those of us she considers enemies of the Lord because she has obtained a higher quality of worship and is more "reformed" then us mere mortals.
