If they have assembled for the purpose of worship, it's a congregation. You could also say an assembly, but an assembly is not specifically for worship.

a very interesting interesting topic... i have heard "flock" as a biblical reference to sheep (followers of jesus). for catholics, one speaks collectively of the "parishoners". the "faithful" (one "L") is another very general term. it depends on how big the collectivity is... for other religions, i look forward to reading!
