I have read some things on Fundies Say the Darndest Things that probably would have had me calling the police even in my most devout times. I don't know about episcopal christians, though we had some jehova's witnesses that my grandmother (the most religious member of my close family) said weren't true christians. We also didn't think catholics were christians.
Yeah, I've heard that sort of thing many times, among the Baptists and Pentecostals here too!
Roman Catholicism has been a very contentious matter here over the centuries, at some points illegal, and it took a long time for them to gradually get the same rights as people of other denominations. They still can't be Prime Minister, or certain other top government positions, or marry the monarch.
Episcopal Christians, being Anglican, would tend to be fairly liberal, in the main. Although, within Anglicanism there are some in what we call the Low-Church, who are of a more evangelical persuasion, so there might be some fundie tendencies. On the other hand, some are more High-Church, which errs towards Catholicism. I don't know, but I would imagine Episcopalian has this spectrum too, to an extent.
