Sector may also mean  the area in which a military unit operates, or some other division of an area--
No one is permitted to leave this sector until further notice.

Sect or or sect or ( two words ) means a religious denomination; a party or faction with different beliefs ( sect ) offered as an alternative ( or )--
He belongs to a small sect or cult; their beliefs are a bit unusual.
He's trying to decide whether to join the sect or not; it would mean leaving his current church.
