Danish term

folkekirkeligt tilhørsforhold

Danish to English Other Law: Taxation & Customs Notice of assessment
This appears on a Danish 'forskudsopgørelse' and seems a bit outdated to me. Can anyone confirm if 'denomination' would be okay here? Or does SKAT (the Danish tax authorities) only want to know if the tax payer is a member of Den Danske Folkekirke (the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Denmark)?

I only have until EOD today Pacific Time - thanks for any input!!
