The accustomed way in Austria (I grew up with) is to call the protestant religions "evangelisch." One main branch (the Lutherans) is called evangelisch of the Augsburg (agoston) confession, the other (Reformed ones) are tagged as evangelisch of the Helvetian (Swiss) confession. This would suggest that "evangélikus református" refers to the Helvetian (reformed, or Calvinist) branch of the Protestant movement. However, only the records themselves will show, because the term "reformation" applies to both the Lutheran and Calvinist branches.
