A member of a congregation; a person who regularly attends and participates in a religious assembly or church.
From Latin 'congregans' (gathering together), formed from 'congregare' (to flock together), with the agent suffix '-ant' added in English.
This is the modern, standard word for 'someone in a congregation'—it's commonly used in religious communities to refer to people who gather for worship, and it's much more popular than 'congreganist.'
