“Protestants hold out for the “many mansions” doctrine right down to the end of time ~ guar an tee!”

This is one thing most Catholics really don’t “get” about Protestants, despite it being completely obvious to anyone with any curiosity about other religions. Protestant practice and doctrine is varied. We aren’t monolithic, What brings us together, to varying degrees is that we don’t take kindly to being told what to do, say, or think by a central authority - some Protestants less so than others.

It’s not good or bad, it just is. Catholics believe what they do, the myriad and varied Protestant sects believe what they do. It’s part of living in a free society, and a society with freedom of religion.

We are all also free to believe other religions or sects are going to hell, and to whine that others are bigoted against one or another religion - though some do it a lot more than others.

So belittle Protestants as you wish, but you really should be a little more specific than just saying “Protestants” when you let loose your perceived religious superiority, otherwise the effort is wasted, and you sound like you don’t really know what you are talking about.
