Don't jump on me if this is a Catholic v. Protestant thing... but I thought they were still called "the twelve" when one had died and they were replacing him?

I don't see how this could be a Catholic v. Protestant thing. They all agree on the Apostles.

As to still being called "the twelve", I think, note I said think, the "twelve" refer to the original ones. I'm sure I'll be corrected if I am wrong.
