I don’t see the word “Protestant” in the Bible either. Keep sawing away at the trunk and eventually your head will topple right off with it.
I never used the term Protestant. That was someone else, my FRiend. I prefer the term biblicist (meaning what does the Book say?) vs. traditionalist (meaning what does the gang in Rome say?)
Protestantism never was a church. It was a brand name for a movement of reform of the Roman establishment, rather like "Yankee" was a name for reform of the British establishment and now is a nickname. Now, the term "Protestant" is almost extinguished among American non-Catholic Christians, in favor of "reformed" or "evangelical."
