Maybe the problem is that you ended up in the middle of an ongoing discussion where various Roman Catholics have insisted that Protestantism is not a valid religion, theology, worldview or Christian faith, but is, instead, made up of "30,000 cults."

The original comment was...

“Protestant” is a denomination in exactly the same way “foreign” is a nationality.”

That was a crack.

If the line had read...

“Protestant” is a denomination in exactly the same way “Swedish” is a nationality,”

there would have been no criticism of it.

No, no, no, a thousand times no.

“Protestant” is a denomination in exactly the same way “foreign” is a nationality.”

True.

If it was intended by the writer to be a “crack”, well...as a crack it falls flat, being neither humorous nor offensive.

have insisted that Protestantism is not a valid religion,

Stop pretending to be Protestant!!

Your OPC members have already said before that

This is so clear

Why does the OPC pretend to be Christian and yet attack Protestants?
