Paraphrasing the way it was explained to me as a child in a mainline Protestant denomination:

With action figure = "crucifix" = Catholic = reminder Jesus died for our sins.

Bare cross = Protestant and post-Protestant churches = reminder Jesus rose again.

I'm not sure about Anglicans.

Thank you for your service! More valuable than military work IMHO.

That’s an excellent answer which I’m gonna take as factually correct until someone can prove otherwise.

I’m strangely very proud of my work alongside C+ and thank you for appreciating it. Just a word of warning though: I was a childless single man in my early thirties when I started. If you have a life that involves other people think long and hard before joining - not everyone makes it back; and those that do are often never the same again.
