[Greg Troxel]

Not sure this is a good source, but a definition of denomination at

  https://www.learnreligions.com/christian-denominations-700530

says

  A denomination in Christianity is a religious organization (an
  association or fellowship) that unites local congregations in a
  single, legal and administrative body. Members of a denominational
  family share the same beliefs or creed, participate in similar worship
  practices and cooperate together to develop and preserve shared
  enterprises.

Wikipedia says more or less the same:

  A religious denomination is a subgroup within a religion that operates
  under a common name, tradition, and identity.

  The term refers to the various Christian denominations (for example,
  Eastern Orthodox, Catholic, and the many varieties of
  Protestantism). It is also used to describe the five major branches of
  Judaism (Karaite Judaism, Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, and
  Reconstructionist). Within Islam, it can refer to the branches or
  sects (such as Sunni, Shia),[1][2] as well as their various
  subdivisions such as sub-sects,[3] schools of jurisprudence,[4]
  schools of theology[5] and religious movements.[6][7]

  The world's largest religious denomination is Catholic Church[8]
  or/and Sunni Islam.[9][10]


So my view, not yet firmly held, is that saying that catholic is a
denomination that contains Roman Catholic and various national Eastern
Orthodox churches is incorrect.
