Consider what Wikipedia says about religious denominations:
A Christian denomination is a generic term for a distinct religious body identified by traits such as a
common name, structure, leadership and doctrine.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_denomination
A denomination (noun) is what results when a group of believers denominate (verb) by calling themselves by a common name other than Christ.
Please do not make yourself look more foolish than you have already by insisting that the word denomination has no relation to the word denominate.
