All the churches I'm familiar with agrees with Pilgrim's assessment. I even know a few churches that remove the phrase he descended into hell from the creed when citing it in public worship.

Or, they could use "he descended to the dead", a phrase invented by the international translation committees in order to placate the Reformed and liberals.

Of course, that would conflict with the Calvinist view of "he descended into hell". Is the purpose of a Creed to testify to the truth of scripture against those who would deny that truth or to paper over differences?
