I primariy debate things with Protestants, and their confession all grew from denying Catholiicsm, I feel that if I force them not to criticize Catholicism through the thread tag mechanism, I am putting them at a disadvantage.
***I’m protestant, and my confession did not grow from denying catholicism. So, right there, your premise is false and the pursuit of it would be a form of antagonism.

I took it from people who are Protestant and they said that they feel it is unfair to them that they, as Reformed Christian, need to protest Catholicism in order to be true to the Reformation.

I realize that there are Protestants who view Catholicism as just another denomination. But you cannot deny that Luther and especially Calvin built their confessions on denying Catholic dogmas, and they constantly referred to them polemically in their writings.
