You changed the subject. And you're still wrong, because Protestants do have institutional churches. Obviously the organization varies based on the ecclesiology. Mine has a plurality of elders. You have not demonstrated that Islam has a priesthood of the believer because you would need to show they have a concept of "priesthood" in the first place. Maybe the Shia have something comparable, but I'm pretty sure the Sunni don't. I don't think either has anything like the Levitical priesthood.

I said some not all and did not change any subject. There is no priesthood in Islam - only religious scholars and prayer leaders - sort of like in Judaism.
