No. Reform Judaism is a specific Jewish movement. It is one of the progressive movements, but Humanist Judaism, Reconstructionist Judaism and the Jewish Renewal Movement each have a legitimate claim to being progressive, and even Conservative Judaism has a claim to the title. The distinction between progressive Judaism and liberal Judaism is more than a bit vague.
