Have you listened to this exam? Do they allow Doug Wilson to sail through unchallenged, or do they actually ask him some tough question?

It's been a while since I read it and I wasn't very informed at the time (some would argue I'm still not). I can't remember honestly. I might read it again just to see if I notice things that didn't occur to me at the time.

Can you really call the CREC a presbyterian denomination?
So two questions: Is it presbyterian? Is it a denomination?

I suppose it'd be theoretically possible for a church to be presbyterian in its government yet not traditionally "Presbyterian" in its doctrine.

I attended a CREC congregation for awhile when I first arrived in WA. I don't know about the denom as a whole but the congregation I attended was definitely reformed.

The CREC advertises itself as a Confederation with a certain amount of independance for each church. At least that is what Sandlin thought!
