No, Spiritism is neither a cult nor a sect. The Spiritist Teachings present earthly humanity with spiritual truths found within Natural or Divine Law and are applicable to all beliefs. It advocates simplicity at all times, specially regarding the act of workshop.
Yes, it is a religion in the sense that it helps people to connect with God. However, Spiritism has no clergy or ministerial body, nor does it adopt any rituals or external forms of worship.
A Spiritist Centre is a place where Spiritism is practised with simplicity, without any external form of worship, within the Christian principle that God should be worshipped in spirit and truth.
All human beings are mediums to some extend since we can all spontaneously receive communications and help from the spirit world in many different ways, during sleep, in lucid dreams, during prayer or meditation, through synchronicities (which are apparent coincidences with deep personal meaning), as special feelings or intuitions or through other people that may be mediums themselves without knowing it.
All Spiritist practice is gratuitous. It follows the orientation of the moral principle found in the Gospel: "Give for free what you receive for free".
