Just about any Protestant church : Methodist, Baptist , Presbeterian, Nazarine etc etc.

Obviously you are a catholic who must go to confession to be forgiven. We don’t need intercession. We believe Jesus interceded for us

1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Interesting statement....I am a former Protestant, now Orthodox....after much study...While Jesus is our intercessor, Scripture tells us to confess our sins to one another and to pray for one another, James 5:16....BUT! what if your sin is so horrible, or what if the person to whom you have confessed, according to Scripture, is not reliable..to whom do you confess? Hence, the legally protected priesthood. This exists so that anyone can confess anything that is required for the health of the soul and have complete confidence in safety.

This is part of the brilliant design of Orthodoxy.

Your statement is incomplete.
