Yes and No. The Roman Catholic Church is not the Episcopal Church, However the Roman Catholic Church is an "episcopal" church. This means that it is a church that is governed by bishops. The term "episcopal" or "episkopos" is simply Greek for Bishop. The Episcopal Church is the American Branch of the Anglican Communion whose mother Church is the Church of England. The Church of England broke ties with the Roman Catholic Church in 1539 under the reign of King Henry VIII. It was later realigned with Rome under the reign of his daughter Mary (AkA Bloody Mary). After Mary's Death Elizabeth the Great took reign in England and the Church in England once again became independent of Rome, this time for good. This became known as The Church of England or The Anglican Church. After the American Revolution the Anglican Church in the United States became independent of the Church of England for obvious political reasons and changed the name to The Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America, aKa The Episcopal Church. Although the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion as a whole are no longer under the leadership of Rome, they retain apostolic succession through the 3 fold ministry of deacons priests and bishops. They also hold strong to the sacraments of Baptism and Holy Eucharist as being the central Sacraments of the Christian faith, necessary for all Christians to participate in. Those other Sacramental rites of the church inspired by the guidance of the Holy Spirit, Confirmation, Reconciliation, Matrimony, Ordination and Unction are also Sacramental but not necessary for all Christians in the same way that Baptism and Eucharist are.
A fold was an enclosure made of stone and topped with thorn bushes where a flock of sheep was placed at night for protection against predators. The term fold was somewhat bastardized and cooped by Christianity, where a flock was used as an analogy for a congregation. So to "join the fold" was to join the flock in it's protected place, the church. Where they would be protected not from predators but from the evil of temptation and free will. The flock or congregation takes protected shelter in the "fold" which is analogous to the physical church itself.
The major Classical Pentecostal denominations that emphasize the five-fold gospel include Assemblies of God, Church of God in Christ, International Church of the Foursquare Gospel and Church of God (Cleveland, TN). There are also numerous smaller Pentecostal denominantions like the International Pentecostal Holiness church most of which hold to some form of the five-fold gospel. The most common elements of the five-fold gospel are Jesus as savior, baptizer, sanctifier, healer, and coming king. When groups hold to a four-fold gospel it is usually the sanctifier element that is absent like in the Foursquare church.
