The Heidelberg Catechism is a teaching tool that much of Reformed Theology relies upon when attempting to clarify its theology. Think of a Catechism as a FAQ for teaching doctrine.

About that definition for the HeidCat: “The Heidelberg Catechism is a teaching tool that much of Reformed Theology relies upon when attempting to clarify its theology. Think of a Catechism as a FAQ for teaching doctrine.”

Wouldn’t it be better to relate the HC to the Reformed Church rather than to (disembodied) Reformed Theology? Say, “The Heidelberg Catechism is a teaching tool that many Reformed Churches use when seeking to present Reformed doctrine with clarity, simplicity, and devotional focus. Think of a Catechism as an FAQ for teaching doctrine.”

It is, after all, the Reformed Church that uses this catechism.
