I hope she at least had the good grace to look shamed. I had a co-worker who was also a church of christ pastor who when the church was mentioned, delighted in saying LOUDLY ( oh, that's right janet you're a what again? A devil worshiper?

I am a Buddhist. It always hurt but, I never could do what you did which was call her out on it!!

Good for you!!!! Chances are she is jealous of your resolve and will power!
