Type ratings
The current type ratings table can be found here:
Https://registry.faa.gov/typeratings...ting_table.pdf
you then need to compare the actual type certificate involved to clarify what's included, and sorry to say that marketing name gimmicks often don't appear anywhere. Here is the link to look up the TCDS:

I've got 8 types, so I understand that a different type requires training. My question was more about which airframes are covered by a Citation Bravo Type Rating? Where along the Citation line does it stop? ie, Does a Citation Encore fly under a "Bravo Type"? I have heard conflicting information from guys, so I am looking for clarification. And since I don't know a Citation Soverign from a Citation Mustang....I ask stupid questions.
I was initially told that my boss would not pay for training unless I agreed to FT work. FT work was not an option I was interested in. Yet, later on, they sent me anyway even though I had only agreed to PT work. So, this is why I was grateful. I'll never buy a type.

The FAA doesn't require any kind of differences training. The insurance company may have other ideas though.
