English term or phrase: sect
"They are of the same religion, but follow a different sect".

Comment traduire "sect" ? J'ai pensé à "confession" ou "culte", mais selon Le Petit Robert, ces termes sont synonymes de "religion"... donc je doute.
Pourtant, je ne pense pas non plus qu'il faille choisir "secte", la connotation est trop forte...
Qu'en pensez-vous ?
Merci d'avance !

Merci beaucoup, j'avais déjà vérifié sur eurodicautom mais c'était la connotation de "secte" en français qui me gênait. Pourtant, après diverses vérifications, c'est le bon terme !
