‘According to protestant teachings?’ Which protestants? Classical Lutherans? Calvinists? Zwinglians? Methodists of the sort who actually adhere to the ideas of the Wesleys? Methodists of the sort who don’t seem to have much by way of fixed doctrine? Mennonites? Baptists? (of which sort?) Pentecostalists? (again of which sort?) . . .
Each protestant is his own infallible pope, so if you ask enough questions, you’ll get as many different doctrines as there are protestants.
:) Just as in there are as many worlds as their are people. Though humans innately share a sin nature, if your name is written in the Book of Life, you will be eventually saved. The Holy Spirit will then reside in you.

There are NO Protestant Popes!
