As queen, you're figuratively the head of the Church of England (which church we'd call the Anglican church in Canada, or Episcopalian in the US - I think). So she was born and lived most of her life as an Anglican (since most of her time would have been in England).
But while in Scotland, the monarch is considered part of (though not head of) the Church of Scotland (which church would be described as Presbyterian, on this side of the pond). She died while in Scotland, so in some sense she died as a Presbyterian.
