Your ancestors, unless they were Muslims or Buddists, were Catholic, so yes protestants got their faith from the Catholic Church. End of story. My parents were Catholics, and taught me morality, but were utterly clueless when it came to Heaven and Hell, and how to go to the first, and avoid the second. I learned that by reading the Bible, and making my own personal interpretation of it. It's a beautiful thing. I might be guilty of the sin of presumption, but that's ok. I can live with it. 😇

Why is it you believe the Bible is the Word of God?

So you got your faith handed down to you by your parents, correct?
Thing is — you are still a Catholic if you were baptized in the Catholic Church.
